In summer 2009 in NY, there was not even a day that the temperature went over 30℃ until the middle of August. Finally, it became summery at the end of August, so I made this summery dish. The cape gooseberries I bought at the farmer's market were delicious, so I made a salad with them.

I made my own version of the Greek summer salad, Karpouzi Me Feta. It's delicious if you chill the ingredients first, and lightly toss with the dressing. I recommend using a rather firm peach or nectarine as it's easier to handle. (I used a white nectarine in the salad in the profile photo.) For 2 servings. Recipe by dreamy-kitten
