Melon And Nectarine Shaved Summer Salad
- 1 small melon (honeydew, ananas, cantaloupe, etc.)
- 3 small ripe nectarines
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional if your fruit is very sweet)
- 1/4 cup pistachio meats
- 1/4 teaspoon cardamom
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- If the rind of your melon is very thin and soft, go ahead and peel it with a veggie peeler and then quarter and seed it. Otherwise, quarter and seed the melon and then cut the rind off with a paring knife.
- Halve, twist, and remove pit from nectarines.
- Slice the melon and nectarines on the thinnest setting of a mandolin or slicer (you can do it by hand if you have to, but that would suck). Toss in a bowl and set aside.
- Mix the lemon juice and honey in a small bowl and then drizzle over the fruit.
- Pulse the pistachio meats, cardamom, and sugar into a food processor or blender until coarsely chopped.
- Plate the fruit in a nice mound onto individual plates and then sprinkle the pistachio mixture over top. Enjoy!
