Stone Fruit and Tomato Salad

This salad is a celebration of stone fruit at their peak. Nectarines, peaches, and plums are all fair game here—use whatever looks best! The balance of sweet, tart, and savory can be adjusted to taste: a little more vinegar if you like things bright and punchy, or an extra pinch of sugar if your fruit needs a lift. Stracciatella brings a creamy richness that ties everything together, but burrata or fresh ricotta would also work. Think of this less as a strict recipe and more as a template for making the most of in-season produce and whatever you have on hand—just make sure to serve with fresh crusty bread for scooping.
