Delicious and easy. But - one critique - why does NYT put silly time designations for recipes, such as "5 minutes" for this one. Chopping the fruit is a very necessary part of preparing this recipe. Unless you have a team of prep-cooks at your disposal, pitting and chopping 5 pounds of stone fruits, and washing and chopping 1/4 cup of fresh mint, takes significantly more time than 5 minutes. Yes, it's self-evident, but why bother stating a time at all?
Refreshing salad! Pomegranate seeds added some nice color and texture to peach, nectarine, mango and plums. The mint is a tasty touch.
“Five minutes”? Hah. Who can pit and slice five pounds of stone fruit in five minutes? This took considerably longer (not including the pomegranate addition), but I knew that Mark’s measurement of time doesn't align with mine, so I expected that. Worth the effort. I would make this again.
This recipe makes perfect breakfast: I reduced the amount of orange juice and honey and then added a few tbsps of nonfat greek yogurt.
Noodles this recipe for far too long. It is divine, even with a peach that is a day shy of fully ripe. Make it now!
Can this be made in advance?
This was very nice and enjoyed by all. I did 1/2 recipe with two large peaches, three plums, and cherries to make up the rest of the weight. 1/2 recipe was good as a side for 5 people.
