Make salad less boring and more enjoyable with this vibrant bright summer salad tossed with sweet juicy nectarines, pomegranate seeds and soft goat cheese. Nectarines and peaches are actually the same species, but nectarines tend to have more flavour, aroma and have firmer flesh. You can swap one for the other. Nectarine's skin is safe to eat. In fact the skin has fiber, vitamins, and adds more flavour. So, removing the skin is optional and absolutely a personal choice. And use any mixed leaves you fancy.

- In a bowl, whisk ACV, balsamico vinegar, and olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Place nectarines or peaches in a large pot of boiling water for 10-15 seconds or until the skin splits. Remove with a slotted spoon. Immediately place in an ice water bath to cool the peaches and stop the cooking process. Use a paring knife to peel the skin. Halve the peeled nectarines, remove the pit and cut into wedges.
- Wash the lettuce or any leafy greens, then spin-dry. Tear the leaves into bite-size pieces and place them in a salad bowl. Add in sliced red onion, sliced scallions, peach wedges and pomegranate seeds.
- Drizzle the dressing over and gently toss together. Divide the salad into two plates. Top with soft goat cheese. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil and a few grinds of black pepper.

Nice week!
A beautiful and delicious salad, Angie!
I bet that is tasty.
I'd eat the nectarine and leave you the cheese LOL
Just the right salad for a warm humid day. So crisp and refreshing.
This salad looks great;)
So perfect for summer peak temperatures !
the nectarines and the goat cheese sound like a wonderful combination. I've got a whole bag of nectarines. Maybe I'll add some to a salad- love your idea.
This is just gorgeous… and I have two ripe peaches waiting on this salad!
I made white beach and tomato salad last night. Your recipe is next up. Yum!
You've been doing a lot with fruit in salads lately. And why not? It's prime fruit season at the moment! This looks really great -- nice flavors, great visual appeal. Thanks!
This pomegranate salad looks so fresh and delicious!
Delicia! Ideal para el verano.
Gracias!!
Buena semana, con los mejores deseos!!

Angie, You surely do eat healthy foods... That is a very attractive salad with an interesting variety of ingredients. Love goat cheese so that's a real plus for me! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
We eat our weight in nectarines this time of year, but I've never put them in a salad. This looks totally irresistible, Angie! Definitely needs to be on our summer menu!
Gosh, you make me drool every time I read your list of ingredients.
Now this looks like a fun way to eat nectarines! <3 - http://www.domesticgeekgirl.com
lovely combination of flavors. This is a great summer salad
This salad has a great combo- combining the sweet and the 'salty' goat's cheese. You must have a pomegranate tree at your house since you have been busy with lots of pomegranate recipes!
Such a bright and beautiful salad. I love the nectarines and pomegranate in it!
I always leave the skin on my fruit, as it is so full of goodness. At this time of year, we also enjoy the flat 'donut' peaches, which taste amazing!
The only thing I may have to swap out is the goat's cheese, as that is about the only cheese I can't eat, but I have plenty of alternatives in mind!
Presentation is immaculate, as always. Thanks for sharing :)
No has podido hacer una mejor combinación de ingredientes, me encantan las frutas en las ensaladas, les dan un puntito dulce maravilloso, color y sabor.
Un beso.
Yummy salad! I forget about nectarines, I must get some!

I just ate a nectarine for lunch today! They are so delicious now and this salad looks like a wonderful way to enjoy them!
Wow, the flavour and colours on this one are all contrasting in a very good way
Fantastica questa insalata😍
Love all the fresh fruits here :)
I love pom! They just liven & brighten up any salad as it did to yours.
Your salad is so tempting!!....great combination of flavors and texture....so healthy!!!.......Abrazotes, Marcela
