Not sure about you, but around here summer is all about stone fruit. Peaches, Plums, Apricots.  They are all so delicious and all so seasonal.  They scream hot summer days.  Best enjoyed outside because they are so juicy, they are messy, so better to leave the juice outside for the ants.

A stone fruit in season is a beautiful thing, a stone fruit grown out of season and forced to ripen is tasteless and a huge disappointment. 

“See how the light tenderly love the apricots, it takes them over completely, enters into their pulp, light them from all sides! But it is miserly with the peaches and light only one side of them.”

-Paul Cezanne

Be topping your summer Apricots with microgreens you add a bit of peppery, tangy green goodness. You can pick any Microgreen Mix you like.  I prefer an Arugula if available.
