Excellent repeater! Made dressing and nectarines as posted. Dressing is exceptionally good. Grilled the nectarines earlier as we had dinner guests and did not want to be tied to kitchen while enjoying wine on deck. After grilling I refrigerated the nectarines. I used the logged goat cheese and did not use as much as posted probably about 1/3 and also did not use as much mint- 3 leaves per salad. Mint is VERY nice with this combination of salad ingredients-but mint is strong so was careful. Thank you TheWallaces for sharing.

This is good. I used goats milk feta as that is what I had but I think this recipe means the logged goat cheese. I used fresh mint from the garden not sure if I liked that in there or not, and the suggested blueberries as I did not have nectarines. I used unrefined sunflower oil instead of walnut oil as I didn't have any on hand, freshly squeezed lemon juice, unpasturised local honey, a mix of baby arugula and baby spinach (mostly arugula) the walnuts and freshly ground black pepper and sea salt. I did not grill my blueberries but would suggest trying such with the nectarines which I think would go better together with this salad. I also did not measure but did everything to taste. Made for ZWT6 Germany/Benelux region, for my team, The Ya Ya Cookerhood.
