When that summer peach or plum isn't quite ripe enough to eat out of hand, marinate thin slices in a vinegary dressing for this refreshing riff on the Chinese dish lao hu cai.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb. underripe stone fruit (such as plums, nectarines, or peaches), pears, or mangoes, thinly sliced
1 serrano chile, seeds removed if desired, thinly sliced
2 Tbsp. unseasoned rice vinegar
1 Tbsp. sugar
½ tsp. kosher salt, plus more
1 bunch cilantro
4 scallions, thinly sliced on a diagonal
2 celery stalks, thinly sliced on a diagonal
2 tsp. toasted sesame oil
1 tsp. low-sodium soy sauce
Zest of 1 lime
2 Tbsp. toasted sesame seeds
Lime wedges (for serving)

Steps:

  • Gently toss fruit, chile, vinegar, sugar, and ½ tsp. salt in a medium bowl to combine. Let sit until fruit is spicy and flavorful, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, gather cilantro into a bundle and cut into 2"-long pieces. Transfer to a medium bowl, add scallions and celery, and toss to combine.

Pour dressing over cilantro mixture and toss to coat. Add reserved fruit and sesame seeds and toss gently to combine. Taste and season with more salt if needed.
  • Transfer salad to a platter and serve with lime wedges.

Overall, I thought this salad was pretty good. It's a bit different than your average fruit salad, but it's still refreshing and delicious.

I'm not sure if I like the combination of dragon fruit and peanuts. I think I would prefer it without the peanuts.

This salad is delicious, but it's a bit time-consuming to make. I would recommend making it for a special occasion or when you have some extra time.

I found the instructions to be a bit confusing. I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my salad didn't turn out as well as I hoped.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar or honey.

I'm not a huge fan of dragon fruit, but this salad was surprisingly delicious. The sweetness of the fruit balanced out the tartness of the lime juice and the crunch of the peanuts added a nice texture.
