This Summer Tomato Stone Fruit Salad is full of juicy heirloom tomatoes, nectarines and mango. A drizzle of sherry vinegar, a little honey goat cheese and chopped fresh mint are all that are needed to make this fresh summer salad tantalizingly delicious.

With the sweltering heat that has hit our area the past few weeks, eating cool foods that require little or no cooking have become a necessity in our home. Cold noodle salads, smoothies, green salads, and lots of fresh fruit make their way into many of our meals throughout the day.

As summer progresses, the variety of fresh produce continues to grow at our local farmer’s market. One of the items I look forward to the most are fresh tomatoes, of the heirloom variety whenever I feel like treating myself. I love choosing a few of each kind – this past weekend, I picked up what I believe were some Black Krim and Vintage Wine varieties. Green zebras have yet to show up.

Although I’ve eaten plenty of green salads with fruit before, I’d yet to pair tomatoes with stone fruits in salads. I had bought a few boxes of nectarines and a case of mangoes about a week ago, and was looking for a way to use up some of the remaining fruit.

Juiciness is at it’s best in this salad when the ripest of tomatoes and fruits are used. All that’s needed to accent this salad is a touch of sherry vinegar, fresh mint, a few slivers of red onion and some creamy honey goat cheese. I did drizzle on a little extra virgin olive oil and grind some fresh black pepper on top just before diving in.

    Tomato and fruit salad is always welcome for me. I have heard about black krim and vintage wine varieties. I will support healthy food habits and prepare usual fruit salad on regular basis.
