Peanut Free Stone Fruit Salad with Honey & Fresh Mint
Summer stone fruit at its peak deserves nothing more than a light, fragrant dressing, and that's exactly what this salad delivers. Juicy peaches and nectarines are paired with sweet halved cherries, then tossed in a honey-lemon vinaigrette brightened with apple cider vinegar, lemon zest, and a whisper of ground ginger. Torn fresh mint woven through the fruit adds an herbal lift that makes every bite feel a little unexpected. A short rest at room temperature lets the fruit release its natural juices, which mingle with the dressing into something almost syrupy and completely irresistible. Optional fresh basil scattered over the top takes it from simple to genuinely stunning on the table. Every ingredient here is naturally free from tree nuts and peanuts, so there's no label-scanning or substitution required — just gorgeous, whole fruit and pantry staples. It works beautifully as a light dessert, a brunch side, or an afternoon treat when stone fruit season is at its best.
