A stone fruit makes delicious and nutritious lunch

Summer is the season to enjoy the freshest and most tasty stone fruits. Stone fruits are characterized by a fleshy outer exterior bounded by a hard pit or seed that resembles a stone. They are also filled with necessary nutrients like dietary fiber and vitamins A, C, and E. You will surely become an ACE in nutrition if you incorporate these fruits in your diet.
The best places to enjoy such abundance in harvest are at your local farmers' market. The sun must bring out the obviously sweet and juicy flavor of these bright and delicious fruits. They seem to be cheery.
A perfect lunch on a nice, summer day is a salad with some sliced or cubed stone fruit of your opiniun, layered on some salad greens with light vinaigrette. You could even add some leftover roasted or grilled chicken and some toasted nuts for crunch.
