"Cucumber nectarine rainbow salad that tastes like summer! I’m obsessed with summer outdoor dining and all the barbecues. Hope you are too!
The crunchy cucumber and sweet summer nectarines are topped with feta, earthy arugula, pistachios and a touch of jalapeño peppers! The pickled jalapeños play well with the cool, sweet and salty flavors. So prepare your tastebuds for this one. It’s everything I want, a cooling salad in an easy to put together recipe.
You can slice the cucumbers and nectarines first, so those can get seasoned right away with salt, pepper and a drizzle of the dressing. Then let rest, while you finish preparing your dinner. Just before serving crush the feta, add pistachios, arugula and blueberries, and the remaining dressing, together with the jalapeños, season with freshly ground pepper and flaky salt. Always the star of the dinner. All the flavors cut nicely through in this colorful summertime salad. Sweet and salty, it’s extremely refreshing! My new BFF."
