Nectarine & Fresh Lemon Salad by Heather Crosby in YumUniverse.
From Heather: Sometimes, we don’t need a dressing at all to enjoy an incredible salad. My friend Sage always dresses greens simply with fresh lemon juice, olive oil, and cracked pepper so she can “taste the greens.” She served a version of this salad at one of the photo shoots for this book and I had to include it for YU — I ate it for a few weeks straight I was so in love.
