Description

This Flavor-Packed Stone Fruit Salad is a refreshing and healthy dish combining fresh peaches, plums, and cherries with a zesty honey-citrus dressing and a hint of mint. Perfect for a light snack or a vibrant side, this no-cook salad brings out the natural sweetness of ripe stone fruits, complemented beautifully by the tangy dressing and optional creamy Greek yogurt topping.

Ingredients

Scale

Fruits

  • 2 medium Fresh Peaches (Sliced into wedges)
  • 2 medium Plums (Pitted and sliced)
  • 1 cup Fresh Cherries (Pitted and halved)

Herbs

  • 1/4 cup Fresh Mint Leaves (Roughly chopped)

Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons Honey (Pure honey)
  • 1 unit Citrus Juice (Juice of one lemon or lime)

Optional

  • 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt (For serving)
  • Chopped nuts or additional mint leaves (For garnish)

Instructions

  1. Wash Fruits: Wash all the fruits thoroughly under cool running water to remove any dirt or residues.
  2. Slice Peaches: Slice the peaches into wedges and place them in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Prepare Plums: Pit the plums, slice them into wedges, and add them to the bowl with the peaches.
  4. Add Cherries: Pit and halve the cherries, then add them gently to the mixing bowl with the other fruits.
  5. Chop Mint: Roughly chop the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them over the mixed fruits in the bowl.
  6. Make Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the honey and citrus juice (lemon or lime) until well combined to create a light dressing.
  7. Dress the Salad: Drizzle the honey-citrus dressing over the fruit mixture and gently toss everything to evenly coat the fruits with the dressing.
  8. Rest the Salad: Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and intensify.
  9. Serve: Serve the salad in bowls, topping each serving with a dollop of Greek yogurt if desired for added creaminess.
  10. Garnish: Optionally, garnish the salad with whole mint leaves or chopped nuts for extra texture and visual appeal.

Notes

  • Make sure to use ripe but firm stone fruits for the best texture and flavor.
  • If you prefer a vegan version, omit the Greek yogurt or substitute with a plant-based yogurt.
  • Fresh cherries can be substituted with frozen ones if fresh are not available, just thaw before using.
  • This salad is best consumed the same day to maintain freshness and texture.
  • Adding chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts adds a nice crunch.
