Savor Mixed Greens With Roasted Plums September 3, 2025 Juicy, sweet and just a little tart, plums are a late-summer treat worth savoring. With their deep color and rich flavor, plums are especially prized for snacking, baking and even drying. Their firm texture and natural sweetness make them perfect for everything from tarts to sauces. Whether enjoyed fresh or cooked into your favorite dish, plums offer a delicious way to celebrate the season. Try them in our featured recipe: mixed greens salad with roasted Italian plums – a sweet and savory twist on a classic. You can find plums at your local farmers market during the summer and in grocery stores throughout the rest of the year. Prep Time: 10 minutes. Cook Time: 20 minutes. Servings: 4. Ingredients 12 Italian or Brooks plums, halved and stones removed. 1 tablespoon olive oil. 6 cups mixed greens, chopped. 1/4 medium red onion, sliced. 4 ounces feta cheese. 2 tablespoons almonds, chopped or slivered. Dressing 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar. 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice. 3 roasted plum halves. 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil. Salt and pepper to taste. Directions Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the plum halves on the sheet and drizzle with just enough olive oil to coat them. Rub the olive oil on to each halve. Roast in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, being careful not to let the sugars burn. In a blender, food processor or with an immersion blender, blend all of the dressing ingredients together. Arrange the mixed greens, red onion, feta cheese and plums on a serving dish. Drizzle with dressing and top with almonds.
