When choosing your nectarines for this yummy salad recipe, you should take a good whiff. They should have a wonderful fragrance, even if the nectarines are very firm. If they don’t have that intoxicating fragrance, then they were picked too soon and will never be sweet. Peaches also make a fine substitute for nectarines, so use them if they seem like a better choice in your market. This salad also features a delicious, citrusy vinaigrette that comes together in minutes and is made with orange juice, balsamic vinegar, shallots, olive oil, and a touch of honey and salt. It nicely complements the watercress, nectarines, jicama, and sliced turkey.
