Goodbye Summer, Hello Fall...

Strawberry, Nectarine, and Concord Grape Salad. This salad is a tribute to the changing seasons. Bright summer fruits meld well with the intense, dark sweetness of Fall's concord grape. When you pop one grape in your mouth and bite down the fruit slips right out of its inky purple skin. Though you are bound to bite into a seed or two, the inconvenience will likely not phase you. There is something addicting about this flavor. It is the essence of childhood...memories of grape juice, and grape jelly, grape stains, and purple teeth.

There isn't much of a recipe for this one. I made it about 4 weeks ago (I'm a little behind on my blogging, school is in full swing). Just slice the strawberries and nectarines to your liking and add the whole grapes, toss with a little lemon juice to preserve the color of the fruit. If you can't make the salad, honestly just try the grape. It will transport you in the first bite.
