Tomato and Plum Salad with Kamut

Tomato and Plum Salad with Kamut

I once read that vegetables and fruits that are grown in the same season are compatible in flavor. Mmmm! That got me thinking about the excess tomatoes and plums on my counter. After googling this unlikely combo I soon realized it was not an unusual combination at all as there are many recipes available on the internet.

This salad was easy to put together, after slicing the plums and equal amounts of heirloom tomatoes I added kamut; an amazing ancient grain and some crumbled feta cheese. To complete this dish I garnished with basil and drizzled a balsamic glaze over the top. Try this salad, it is delicious and a beautiful representation of summer.

I’ll make this recipe short and sweet as I’m on my way to Corvallis to go blueberry picking, can’t wait!
Yield: 2 to 3

    A very satisfying wholegrain salad. Adore the combo of seasonal fruit and veggie.

    I've never thought of it like that, if they're grown in the same season they should go together! What a great idea!

    This combination was surprisingly good. The kamut was very good. ( Not as good as Israeli cous cous )

    I bet that little bit of salty feta really makes these flavours pop. I love everything about this salad :)

    Cheri, I'm getting my groove back and saw this latest recipe... immediately sent it off to my daughter who's growing her own tomatoes... very creative and inviting. Rest assured I will be trying this as well!

    Hope all is well,

      Yes of course, it is pretty new to me as well, kamut is a ancient wheat grain. The texture is firm and the flavor is almost buttery and nutty. Thanks D!
