Nectarine and Goat Cheese Salad
Our neighbor, Jack, grows the most beautiful garden every year. We feel very privileged to receive fresh produce throughout the summer. He brought us freshly picked green and purple lettuce this week, and I looked forward to creating a delicious salad with it. I had ripe nectarines on hand and goat cheese that I needed to use up. This nectarine and goat cheese salad recipe was easy to make and tasted AMAZING. It was a bit salty, sweet, crunchy, and creamy– a perfect combination of textures and flavors. I served this oaded nectarine salad with lasagna and breadsticks.

Not only does the salad look gorgeous, his garden is amazing! I wish we had room for one that size!
Sounds delicious! I love all the flavors in this salad! I never get tired of salad – so many great ways to change it up. That garden is fantastic!
Delicious looking salad,Pam, and a beautiful looking garden. Why does ours never look as neat as that? Still, stuff is growing, that’s all that matters. 🙂
Good post. I learn something new and challenging on blogs I stumbleupon everyday. It will always be exciting to read articles from other authors and practice something from other web sites.
