Welcome!

Creating recipes isn't a pastime—it's a passion. And a lot of fun.

The rules are few: Use 99% fresh ingredients (or thereabouts); make the dish simple but flavorful; make the dish flavorful but simple; be creative, not silly.

With this blog, I want to share new recipes, along with tips on ingredients and preparation, and, hopefully, show new cooks (and non-cooks) the pleasure in setting the table with a delicious homemade meal. The Briny Lemon is about fresh, simple, flavorful ingredients and easy cooking methods that help you bring the best to your family table. Your comments are welcome!

Peach, Plum, and Avocado Salad



This fresh, flavorful, summery salad gives new meaning to a mixed-fruit bowl. Sweet peach and plum, savory avocado, crunchy cucumber, some earthy herbs, and a bright, citrusy dressing come together for a light, refreshing salad to serve alongside a main dish or simply enjoy as a tasty lunch all by itself.

Either way, I think you’ll like the combination of flavors and textures. I topped it off with some roasted pumpkin seeds for a crunchy, salty finish.

Serves 2-3

Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • sea salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 large firm-ripe peach, cut into half-inch pieces
  • 1 large plum, cut into half-inch pieces
  • 1 large firm avocado, peeled, seeded and cut into half-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup small-diced seedless cucumber
  • 1 scallion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup small cilantro sprigs
  • 2 tbsp small mint leaves
  • 2 tbsp roasted, salted pumpkin seeds

Preparation
  1. Whisk the lemon juice, lime juice, and olive oil in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Add the peach, plum, avocado, and next 4 ingredients (through mint leaves) and toss gently to coat with the dressing.
