Juicy peaches at their peak, sweet nectarines and ripe raspberries ... this summer stone fruit salad recipe shines a spotlight on the season’s sweetest fruits. Combine a bit of fresh lemon juice, honey and poppy seeds and you’ve got a beautiful glaze that’s perfect for enjoying poolside, on the patio or at your next summer shindig.
Wash and thoroughly dry the fruit. Extra moisture may cause the fruit to become a mushy mess. Pat the fruit dry with a paper towel to help speed up drying.
Remove the stems and stones from any of the pitted fruit and slice lengthwise. Dark fruits like plums and cherries tend to stain, so protect your clothes and countertops accordingly.
Add the fruit to a large mixing or serving bowl. In a smaller bowl, whisk together the honey, poppy seeds and fresh lemon juice until emulsified. Pour the mixture over the fruit and gently fold to combine. Transfer to a serving platter, if applicable. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
