Before stone-fruit season is over, I’m try to find all the ways I can enjoy it. This kale salad is a lovely end-of-summer treat. Sweet and savory, the plums and peaches perfectly contrast the tomato and feta, and the fennel gives it a crisp crunch. The trick is to massage the kale for 2 minutes so it softens up. I grill the peaches on a grill plate on my stove, but of course you can grill them outside too. If you let the grill or grill plate get nice and hot, you’ll get those beautiful grill lines and this salad will be instagram-ready! I think you’re gonna love it. Let me know how it goes.
