Start by preparing your workspace with a cutting board, knife, mixing bowl, spoon, measuring spoons, and measuring cups.

Cut 2 heirloom tomatoes into bite-sized pieces, ensuring all pieces are the same size for even bites.

Clean the cutting board and prepare to cut the stone fruits.

Cut 2 stone fruits (plums or pluots) around the seed, making sure to keep the pieces the same size as the tomatoes.

Tear fresh basil leaves to fill 1/4 cup and chop them into smaller pieces if desired.

Chop fresh chives using a claw grip, measuring out 2 tablespoons.

Add the chopped tomatoes, stone fruits, basil, and chives into the mixing bowl.

Prepare the balsamic vinaigrette by combining 1/2 cup canola oil, 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon mustard, salt, and pepper in a jar and shake to combine.

Pour the balsamic vinaigrette over the salad ingredients in the bowl and gently toss to combine.
