Receta Peach, Plum, and Avocado Salad

by Pamela Steed Hill

This fresh, flavorful, summery salad gives new meaning to a mixed-fruit bowl. Sweet peach and plum, savory avocado, crunchy cucumber, some earthy herbs, and a bright, citrusy dressing come together for a light, refreshing salad to serve alongside a main dish or simply enjoy as a tasty lunch all by itself. Either way, I think you’ll like the combination of flavors and textures. I topped it off with some roasted pumpkin seeds for a crunchy, salty finish. Serves 2-3 Ingredients 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice 2 tsp fresh lime juice 1 tbsp olive oil sea salt freshly ground black pepper 1 large firm-ripe peach, cut into half-inch pieces 1 large plum, cut into half-inch pieces 1 large firm avocado, peeled, seeded and cut into half-inch pieces 1/2 cup small-diced seedless cucumber 1 scallion, finely chopped 1/2 cup small cilantro sprigs 2 tbsp small mint leaves 2 tbsp roasted, salted pumpkin seeds Preparation Whisk the lemon juice, lime juice, and olive oil in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add the peach, plum, avocado, and next 4 ingredients (through mint leaves) and toss gently to coat with the dressing.
