There’s no reason to make this savory fruit salad unless the peaches you have are worth celebrating or you can get your hands on some superb nectarines. Make breakfast an occasion by serving this salad alongside breakfast calzones, marinated beans with ricotta salata, and torta pasqualina.

  • Sweet zesty bright and little bit of spice. Delicious side to our salmon, we used champagne vinegar because it was we had. This shaved fennel and peaches blended nicely with grilled salmon. The lemon was a nice balance and we used hatch green Chile flakes, as that is what we have as well. Definitely make again and must make!
