    Summer Stone Fruit Salad Recipe

    What's summer without the beautiful seasonal fruits that are so plentiful this time of year? And to me, all the delicious stone fruits that are now in season -- peaches, nectarines, cherries, plums, apricots, and mangoes -- are the best part of this time of year! That's why I love this stone fruit salad! It features all those delicious ripe stone fruits, plus fresh mint, creamy goat cheese, and toasted almonds. It's so easy to put together, and it's great on its own or as an appetizer or snack any time of day!

    Stone Fruit Salad Dressing

    One of my favorite parts of this summer stone fruit salad is the dressing. It's a light, fresh honey-lemon vinaigrette with plenty of chopped mint. It adds a perfect sweet and tangy quality to this ripe stone fruit and peach fruit salad.

    What are the five stone fruits?

    There are actually more than five stone fruits! And they all taste great in this salad. Some examples of stone fruit are peaches, nectarines, mangoes, plums, cherries, apricots, and lychees.

    Peach Fruit Salad Ingredients

    • ripe stone fruit - use whatever stone fruits you have that are fresh and ripe -- peaches, nectarines, plums, apricots, cherries, and even mangoes work great in this salad!
    • vegetable oil - just a bit of vegetable oil helps to bring the vinaigrette together.
    • lemon juice - we'll use some fresh squeezed lemon juice to brighten up the vinaigrette and add the perfect amount of tartness to this salad.
    • honey - I love how a little honey makes this peach fruit salad really balanced!
    • fresh mint - adds to the fresh flavor in the vinaigrette.
    • goat cheese - you can also use feta or brie -- whatever works best for your preference!
    • raw almonds - I greatly prefer to toast the almonds myself whenever I use toasted almonds in a recipe -- it is so easy and adds so much more flavor! I've included instructions below on how to do it, but feel free also to just buy some roasted almonds and toss them in!

    Equipment

    This super easy stone fruit salad couldn't be simpler to make! Other than the knife and cutting board you'll need to cut your fruit, and a whisk and bowl to whip up the honey-lemon vinaigrette, you don't need any particular tools!

    Tips and F.A.Q.

    What makes a stone fruit a stone fruit?

    Stone fruits are fruits with a large "stone" or "pit" in the middle that contains the seed. The most common stone fruits are peaches, nectarines, cherries, apricots, mangoes, and plums. But actually there are lots of other fruits that are technically stone fruits as well, like blackberries, dates, and coconuts.

    How do I top this stone fruit salad with toasted almonds?

    It's easy toast your almonds for this salad! Just spread one cup whole raw almonds on a large cookie sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes. Remove from the pan immediately to cool, then chop roughly.

    What cheese goes with stone fruit?

    I love using goat cheese in this salad because of the creamy tangy element that it adds! But other ideas that might work are brie, burrata, or feta.

    How long does this fruit salad last in the fridge?

    Stored well refrigerated in an airtight container, this salad will keep fresh for up to 3-4 days.
