This decadent salad is one of Kimbal’s favorites. Cherries are an easy fruit to find when you’re buying from the grocery store, but look forward to substituting them with peaches and plums when they are in season at your farmers market.
Combining stone fruit with the savory bite of Parmesan, along with the kick from both basil and garlic, makes for a dish that tastes like Italy on a plate. It’s fresh and healthy with natural sugar, fat, and zest. Each bite hits a different note depending on what lands on your spoon. This dish gets better as it sits and macerates with the salt and lemon.
