An easy summer salad. j .吴克群Lopez-Alt

Why It Works

  • Ripe, juicy tomatoes and sweet apricots reinforce each other's flavors and contrast well with briny feta cheese.

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.
