HEIRLOOM TOMATO SALAD WITH NECTARINES, AVOCADO AND ARUGULA

With farmer’s markets overflowing with the most wonderful summer produce, what better way to embrace this seasonal bounty than a salad that combines fresh heirloom tomatoes, peppery arugula, white nectarines and sliced avocado. A bright, simple vinaigrette of Grove Provisions extra virgin olive oil and Coastal Kick white vinegar brings out the fresh flavors. A generous sprinkle of our Flake Sea Salt tops it off!
