Recipe Intro From thefeedfeed
From the common purple skinned Moyer plum, to the honey-sweet greengage and my favorite, the Santa Rosa plum, there as many plums as there are ways to enjoy them!
This savory plum salad is a welcome addition to any late-summer table, pairing well alongside anything grilled, especially pork, chicken and hearty eggplant. Want to keep the veggie vibes going? Serve it alongside BBQ tofu or grilled mushrooms.
I left off the cheese, but feel free to add feta, burrata or dollops of ricotta.
