How to Make Berry Nectarine Salad

  1. Place 2 ripe nectarines, thinly sliced, in a large bowl.
  2. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger. Sprinkle evenly over the nectarines and gently toss to coat.
  3. Drizzle 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice over the nectarines. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, stirring gently halfway through.
  4. After 1 hour, gently drain the nectarines, reserving the juice in a separate small bowl.
  5. Gently fold in 1 cup raspberries and 1/2 cup blueberries into the nectarines.
  6. In a small mixing bowl, beat 4 ounces cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  7. Gradually beat in the reserved nectarine juice into the cream cheese until well combined.
  8. Spoon the cream cheese mixture evenly over the fruit mixture and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh mint leaves (optional).
