by Susan Clark

• 
  
• 4 large nectarines, cut into 1/4 in thick wedges

• 1 pkg (10 oz) gourmet mixed salad greens
• 2 c fresh strawberries, sliced
• 1 pkg (4 oz) feta cheese, crumbled
• 1 large green tomato, diced
• 1/2 c chopped fresh basil (this is too strong for me so I leave it out)

Toss nectarines with 1/4 c lemon poppy seed dressing.
Layer gourmet mixed salad greens, nectarines, strawberries, and then the rest of the ingredients.
