Ingredients

1/2 large red onion, thinly sliced

Kosher salt

1/3 cup white balsamic vinegar or white wine vinegar

1 teaspoon honey

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling

1 3/4 pounds heirloom tomatoes, thinly sliced

Freshly ground pepper

4 nectarines, pitted and thinly sliced

5 cups baby arugula

3 ounces ricotta salata cheese, crumbled

Directions

  1. Soak the red onion in a bowl of salted cold water, 10 to 15 minutes; drain, rinse and pat dry. Meanwhile, bring the vinegar and honey to a simmer in a small skillet over medium-high heat; cook until slightly syrupy, about 5 minutes. Let cool completely. (The syrup will thicken as it cools.) Transfer to a bowl and gradually whisk in the olive oil until emulsified.
  2. Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper and arrange on a platter with the nectarines, arugula and onion. Top with the ricotta salata. Drizzle with the vinegar mixture and more olive oil; toss gently.

I loved this!! Loved the salty sweetness of the tomatoes and nectarines. I was not impressed by the honey-vinegar dressing, so I lightlly tossed the arugula in a red wine vinaigrette and topped with the tomato nectarine onion mix and drizzled it with a balsamic glaze and a light olive oil drizzle. Sooo good, will absolutely make again.
