Grammies in town so she took the kids last night so Colt and I were left home alone..
So when Colt came home we hit the kitchen for a date night in. We scavenged through the fridge and came up with this years summertime salad must have: Nectarine Summer Salad With Prosciutto Blue Cheese And Lemon Rosemary Thyme Vinaigrette.
Whew that was a mouthful!
Sorry, not sorry for the long name but I wanted to make sure you understood just how amazing this salad is. The dressing is light and fragrant followed by the sweet bites of nectarine, thin salty slices of prosciutto and sharp, salty bites of blue cheese.
Every bite was an amazing mouthful of flavor explosion.
If blue cheese isn't your thing feta or goat cheese would make a great substitute. Chow down, mow down, devour! It won't last long.
The Lemon Rosemary Thyme Vinaigrette is super easy to make. Just shake together:
- 1/3 cup Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 2/3 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1/4 teaspoon Sea Salt
- 1 teaspoon Freshly Chopped Rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon Fresh Thyme with stems removed
In a large bowl add about 8 ounces Mixed Baby Lettuce, 2 whole Sliced Ripe Nectarines, 4 ounces Thinly Sliced Prosciutto and 1/3 cup Blue Cheese Or Other Desired Cheese. Drizzle with Lemon Rosemary Vinaigrette. Add Fresh Black Pepper to taste.
Devour and enjoy every flavor packed bite!

Serena, I wanted to tweet (and I will) but the link in too long. I love this combo so I'm going to shorten myself, but others may not want to do that.
Thanks so much for letting me know KC!
