I see your peach cobblers, cherry pies, and plum cakes and raise you this savory stone fruit salad. A mix of the season’s best fruit—peaches, apricots, nectarines, or cherries—laced with vinegar and toasted sesame oil offers a juicy contrast to thin slabs of salty ricotta salata. A shower of umami-rich furikake picks up the saline notes of the cheese and drives home the message that a fruit salad doesn’t always have to be sweet to be great. —Shilpa Uskokovic
