I chose to make this for lunch today because the weather in the UK couldn’t make it’s mind up. Hints of sun – but too cold to be summery.

This salad is very summery. Smells of summer and tastes wonderful.

You needs ripe nectarines and tomatoes or it will just taste unpleasant. I got mine from Natoora.

If you can cut fruit you can make this.

The balsamic and olive oil dressing really brings it to life.

While there are ripe nectarines out there I’ll be making this. Definitely a keeper.

Diana Henry’s book is proving very useful this week.
