Nectarines are so delicious when they are grilled and thrown into a zesty fresh salad. We use the coconut aminos to give them a tasty umami flavor and the apple cider vinegar to give it a tang. You can omit the chilli if your not big on spice. In this dish we just use allspice as it gives a nice balance of earth warming flavours.
Instead of using lettuce as a base, we opt to serve this nectarine salad with fresh mint, lemon balm and cucumber ribbons. Which just gives a beautiful freshness. If there’s one herb I’d encourage you to grow- it’s mint. The freshness it adds to dishes
