Follow The Directions

01

Step

2 mins

In a small bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil and white vinegar until emulsified. (2 minutes)

Arrange the sliced heirloom tomatoes artfully on a serving platter. Drizzle with approximately half of the vinaigrette, and season with a small pinch of regular salt. (5 minutes)

03

Step

3 mins

Scatter half of the arugula over the tomatoes. Layer the nectarine and avocado slices on top of the arugula. (3 minutes)

04

Step

2 mins

Add the remaining arugula and gently toss the ingredients with the remaining vinaigrette, being careful not to bruise the avocado. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Finish with a generous sprinkle of flaky sea salt and a grind of fresh black pepper. Serve immediately and enjoy the dance of flavors. (1 minute)

For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the nectarines for a minute or two before slicing.
If you don't have white vinegar, you can substitute with champagne vinegar or lemon juice.
Feel free to add crumbled goat cheese or toasted nuts for added texture and richness.
Make sure your tomatoes are at room temperature for the best flavor.
