Nectarine Salad

I'm not a big fan of peaches, but love nectarines.

I was cleaning the veggie, fruit drawers in the refrigerator today and found that I needed to use some nectarines soon.

I also wound up roasting some vegetables and  testing a soup recipe for an upcoming post.

This is perfect for the end of summer or anytime.

2 - 3 c. romaine lettuce

1 - 2  each: nectarines chopped, tangerines

1/4 - 1/2 c. onions chopped

2 oz. feta cheese

1/4 tsp. black pepper

Rinse, pat dry lettuce in a clean kitchen towel, set aside.

Peel, rinse, chop onion, set aside.

Peel tangerines, set aside.

Rinse, cut in half, pit, chop nectarines, set aside.

Remove feta cheese from refrigerator, chop.

To serve:

Arrange lettuce on 4 clean plates. Arrange nectarines, tangerines, onion over lettuce.

Sprinkle feta cheese over salad.

Sprinkle some black pepper over salad.

Serves 4.
