This Asian-flavored tomato and nectarine salad is a highly fortunate outcome of having “You Put the Lime in the Coconut” stuck in my head all week, coupled with a garden bursting with tomatoes and a drawer full of farmers market nectarines. Who said tomato salads have to be Italian? Try serving this with a plate of pasta tossed with Asian Pesto.
