That beautiful plum that becomes a deep shade of purple as August approaches. It is a delicious sweet fruit that works well in different meals. I eat them in handfuls as I love that candied fragrant taste as it hits the back of my mouth. According to numerous articles (ex. daily mail), plums are the new super food and matched or even exceeded blueberries in antioxidant levels. 1 plum = a handful of blueberries in antioxidants, so I say a plum a day keeps the doctor away! Plums contain healthy minerals and vitamins such as vitamin c & a to help fight infection and good for eyesight. Thus, not only do they taste good, but plums are natures magical pebbles loaded with nutrients.

I hand-picked a basket of ripe plums where naturally only half made it back home as they tasted so juicy like colourful candy drops or rich deep jewels, I couldn’t resist. These crisp and tangy fruits make a spectacular addition to salads, pies or made into jam. I decieded to make a creamy texture-filled salad with fresh flavours and a variety of my favourite  tastes.
