Melon and nectarine shaved summer salad
Indulge in the refreshing blend of sweet melon and juicy nectarine in this vibrant summer salad. A symphony of flavors awaits in every bite.
Ingredients:
- 1 small melon (honeydew, ananas, cantaloupe, etc.)
- 3 small ripe nectarines
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional if your fruit is very sweet)
- 1/4 cup pistachio meats
- 1/4 teaspoon cardamom
- 2 teaspoons sugar
Instructions:
- If your melon has a thin and tender skin, you can peel it using a vegetable peeler. Otherwise, remove the seeds and quarter the melon before using a paring knife to cut off the rind.
- Cut the nectarines in half, twist them to separate, and remove the pit.
- Using the thinnest setting on a mandolin or a slicer, slice the melon and nectarines (if you don't have these tools, slicing them by hand is an option). Place the slices in a bowl.
- In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice and honey, then drizzle this mixture over the fruit.
- In a food processor or blender, chop the pistachios, cardamom, and sugar until they are coarsely chopped.
- Arrange the fruit elegantly on individual plates and sprinkle the pistachio mixture on top. Bon appétit!
