List of Ingredients




Dressing:
1-1/2 cup puréed ripe nectarines (2-3 fresh nectarines, pitted)
1/4 cup champagne vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
Salt, pepper and sugar to taste

Salad:
1 head of butter lettuce leaves, whole (dark outer leaves discarded)
1 pound arugula, chopped
1 pound sliced, pitted stone fruit (peaches, plums, nectarines, apricots, cherries)
1 medium red onion, sliced paper thin
6 ounces Pecorino Pepato cheese, shaved with a vegetable peeler
1/4 cup toasted sliced almonds

For the dressing, pit nectarines; puree, measure, and pour into a mixing bowl. Whisk in vinegar and then olive oil until emulsified and no oil is separated from the dressing. Taste and add salt, pepper and sugar to taste. (The sugar amount depends on the sweetness of the fruit itself and may not be necessary at all. If the fruit is too acidic, you can balance it by adding extra oil. When tasting salad dressings, taste with a piece of lettuce, as it releases water and dilutes the dressing when you bite.)

To assemble the salads, toss the lettuces, fruit and onions with dressing. Arrange three butter lettuce leaves on each plate in a flower-like cup and then fill the cups with the remaining salad. Garnish with the cheese and almonds. Serve immediately.
