Tomato, Apricot, and Feta Salad With Mint Recipe
An easy summer salad. [Photograph: J. Kenji López-Alt]
It's tough to improve on a classic Caprese salad of ripe summer tomatoes, fresh mozzarella cheese, basil, and olive oil, but it's pretty darn easy to make a nice lateral transition to something that's not quite as classic yet equally tasty. Here, I've combined those same tomatoes with sweet apricots, briny feta cheese, and mint for a take that's just as refreshing, but with a completely different personality.
Why It Works
- Ripe, juicy tomatoes and sweet apricots reinforce each other's flavors and contrast well with briny feta cheese.
