Ingredients
  • 2 medium, pitted and sliced Ripe Peaches
  • 3 medium, assorted colors, sliced Heirloom Tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup, chopped Fresh Basil Leaves
  • 1/4 small, thinly sliced Red Onion
  • 2 tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon, or to taste Sea Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon, freshly ground, or to taste Black Pepper
  • 2 ounces, crumbled (optional) Feta Cheese

Prepare the Ingredients

Begin by washing and drying the peaches and tomatoes thoroughly. Pit and slice the peaches into wedges. Slice the heirloom tomatoes into varying thicknesses to add texture to the salad. Thinly slice the red onion.

Combine the Salad

In a large bowl, gently combine the sliced peaches, tomatoes, red onion, and chopped fresh basil. Be careful not to bruise the fruit while mixing.

Make the Dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, honey, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined. Adjust the seasonings to your preference.

Dress the Salad

Pour the balsamic vinaigrette over the peach and tomato mixture. Gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly. Be careful not to overdress the salad, as it can become soggy.

Serve

If using, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the salad. Serve immediately or chill for later. This salad is best enjoyed fresh.

FAQ

  • Can I use different types of peaches or tomatoes?

    Yes, feel free to experiment with different varieties of peaches (like white peaches or donut peaches) and tomatoes (such as cherry tomatoes or Roma tomatoes) to find your preferred flavor combination.
  • How long can I store this salad?

    This salad is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Keep in mind that the tomatoes and peaches may release moisture over time, which can make the salad slightly less crisp.
  • Can I add other ingredients to this salad?

    Absolutely! Consider adding other fresh ingredients like cucumber, avocado, or mozzarella cheese. Nuts and seeds can also add a nice crunch.
  • Can I make this salad ahead of time?

    It's best to prepare the salad shortly before serving. If you need to prepare it in advance, you can slice the peaches and tomatoes ahead of time and store them separately. Make the dressing separately as well. Combine everything just before serving to prevent the salad from becoming soggy.
