Ingredients for Nectarine and Blue Cheese Salad with Plum Vinaigrette

• 2 black plums, halved, pitted, chopped

• 120ml olio extravergine di oliva

• 4 teaspoons ume plum vinegar or red wine vinegar

• Sale kosher, pepe macinato fresco

• 12 cups (lightly packed) mixed greens (such as rocket and frisée)

• 4 nectarines or peaches, halved, pitted, cut into eighths

• 230g firm blue cheese, such as Cabrales, sliced

• 70g almonds, preferably Marcona

• Ingredient info: Ume plum vinegar (also called umeboshi vinegar) can be found at Asian markets, natural foods stores, and some supermarkets. Marcona almonds are available at natural foods and specialty foods stores.

Bring plums and 180ml water to a boil in a small saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-high and simmer, stirring occasionally and mashing plums with the back of a spoon, until plums have completely broken down, about 15 minutes.

Pour plum mixture through a fine-mesh sieve set over a small bowl, pressing on solids to extract as much purée as possible; discard solids in sieve. Let purée cool.

Add oil, vinegar, and 2 tablespoons water to purée; whisk to blend. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD: Dressing can be made 1 week ahead. Cover and chill.

Divide greens among plates. Scatter nectarines, cheese, and almonds over, dividing equally, and drizzle some of dressing over. Season with salt and pepper.
