Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups chopped cantaloupe from 1 small cantaloupe
  • 4-5 cups sliced peaches about 6-8 pieces stone fruit total
  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon sumac optional
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons finely sliced fresh mint plus extra for garnish

Equipment

  • Chef's Knife
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine the cantaloupe, sliced stone fruit, raspberries, and blueberries.
  2. Make the dressing. In a medium bowl, whisk together the orange zest, orange juice, maple syrup, olive oil, vanilla, sumac, salt, and mint.
  3. Pour the dressing over the fruit and toss gently to coat.
  4. Garnish the summer fruit salad with more sliced mint and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Tip 1: Sumac has a lemony/tangy flavour that complements fruit really well, but you can leave it out if you don’t have it on hand.
  • Tip 2: In the summer, I have lemon thyme in my garden that also complements this salad nicely!
  • Tip 3: Use whatever stone fruit is in season for the best flavor!
  • Tip 4: Prepare this salad up to 5 hours in advance, adding the mint right before serving.
