Fruit salads for dinner – genius. With this Gold Coast summer that keeps pumping heat into the mid 30s I really have no appetite by the end of the day. Luckily Australia is still producing peaches this late in the season. I may also have a couple watermelon plants if temperatures stay this way – I started them from seed and they are growing like weeds in my front garden. Think I’m going to have to come up with a watermelon dinner salad recipe soon.

Ingredients:

8 peaches – mid ripe cut into chunks

2 tablespoons mint leaves, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

Juice of 1 lemon

1/2 cup salted and roasted macadamia nuts, chopped

Directions:

Cut peaches and place remaining ingredients in a bowl. Toss with olive oil and lemon juice and add a pinch of salt if desired.
