Heirloom Tomato Salad w/ Nectarine & Proscuitto

July 16, 2013 3 comments Article Appetizers, Fruit, Recipes, Salad, Vegetables

After being back in Colorado for a couple of weeks, I finally was able to go to the farmers’ market! I went to the Vail Farmers’ Market last week and stumbled upon some really great produce and meat. The Vail market is nice because you are so much closer to the farmers from the Western Slope. I was able to fill over half of a grocery bag with all kinds of veggies for only $10! I also got some great wine-poached goat cheddar and sage goat cheddar from Jumpin’ Good Goat Dairy, as well as a delicious grass-fed leg of lamb from Crystal River Meats. While all of this was fantastic, I have to admit that the perfectly-ripe assortment of heirloom tomatoes were the highlight of the market for me.

Heriloom-Tomato-Salad-2There is hardly anything better then biting into a juicy, ripe heirloom tomato. I chose to buy some Green Zebra, Marvel Striped Orange, and Black Krim varieties. Each type of heirloom tomato gives this salad a different flavor accent. With the addition of sweet nectarines, salty prosciutto and earthy basil, this salad is sure to be a hit on any summer day. You can also substitute the nectarine or peach or melon if you want to switch things up a bit.

    This salad is what summer eating (and prep) should be… laid back and bursting with the season’s flavors! How much prosciutto did you use? I love that addition, but don’t want to overwhelm the balance of this perfect salad.
