  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Stone Fruit:

  • 46 cups sliced stone fruit of choice* (cherries, peaches, plums, apricots, nectarines, etc)

Berries:

  • 2 cups blueberries
  • 2 cups blackberries

Dressing:

  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare Stone Fruit: Slice stone fruit thinly, removing pits if using cherries.
  2. Mix Fruit: Combine all fruit in a large bowl.
  3. Create Dressing: Whisk lemon juice, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and thyme in a separate bowl.
  4. Toss: Pour dressing over fruit, gently toss to coat.
  5. Serve or Chill: Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.

Notes

  • *Generally one large peach or nectarine will yield about 1 cup of sliced fruit, whereas you’ll need about 3-4 apricots or plums for 1 cup.
  • Feel free to use any combination of fresh fruit – keep it simple or mix it up!
  • Substitute fresh thyme with mint or basil if preferred.
  • Storage: best consumed within 2 days, store in the fridge.
  • Make ahead: tastes better after sitting for up to 24 hours. Stir before serving.
