Savoury Fruit Salad

To count fruit salad for dinner, a savory element is needed. Cheese like feta or burrata is an obvious choice. I chose to keep it light and vegan with olives, which also adds a satisfying pickly component. Any variety will work, but I particularly like the buttery bite of green Castelvetranos. This savory salad is not really a recipe but more of a template - use any fruit you like - except for bananas ? - but I like melons and stone fruit.

The essential element of this recipe is the balsamic – or if you don’t have that specifically, another sweet vinegar like sherry or fruit vinegars. It’s the balsamic which pushes this salad to mind boggling status. The sweetness, the tartness, and the acidity, all challenge with the freshness of the fruit, revealing a complexity that you didn’t know peach or plum or watermelon had.

Savoury Fruit Salad

Serves 6

Ingredients

  • 1 rockmelon (cantaloupe), watermelon or honeydew (or a combo of them), cut into chunks or slices
  • 3-6 plums, peaches, nectarines or apricots (or a combo of them), cut into slices or chunks
  • 1 - 2 cups cherries, seeds removed and torn in half
  • 1/2 - 1 cup green or black olives, seeds removed and sliced
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • balsamic vinegar
  • salt and black pepper
  • parsley or basil leaves, torn

Instructions

  • Combine the fruit on a large platter or on individual serving plates. Top with olives and then drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and black pepper and finish with parsley or basil leaves.
  • The salad is fine to hang around a while too. Eat at room temperature or cold.
