When that summer peach or plum isn't quite ripe enough to eat out of hand, marinate thin slices in a vinegary dressing for this refreshing riff on the Chinese dish lao hu cai.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb. underripe stone fruit (such as plums, nectarines, or peaches), pears, or mangoes, thinly sliced
1 serrano chile, seeds removed if desired, thinly sliced
2 Tbsp. unseasoned rice vinegar
1 Tbsp. sugar
½ tsp. kosher salt, plus more
1 bunch cilantro
4 scallions, thinly sliced on a diagonal
2 celery stalks, thinly sliced on a diagonal
2 tsp. toasted sesame oil
1 tsp. low-sodium soy sauce
Zest of 1 lime
2 Tbsp. toasted sesame seeds
Lime wedges (for serving)

Steps:

  • Gently toss fruit, chile, vinegar, sugar, and ½ tsp. salt in a medium bowl to combine. Let sit until fruit is spicy and flavorful, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, gather cilantro into a bundle and cut into 2"-long pieces. Transfer to a medium bowl, add scallions and celery, and toss to combine.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover fruit. I always have a few pieces of fruit that are about to go bad, and this salad is a great way to use them up.
