Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 ripe peaches, sliced
  • 4 large heirloom tomatoes, sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Start by washing and slicing the peaches and heirloom tomatoes. Tear the fresh basil leaves into smaller pieces. If using feta cheese, crumble it into small bits.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, and honey. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  3. In a large serving bowl, gently combine the sliced peaches, heirloom tomatoes, and torn basil leaves. Drizzle the dressing over the top and toss lightly to coat all the ingredients evenly.
  4. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the salad, if using. Give it one final gentle toss to distribute the cheese evenly.
  5. Serve the salad immediately, either as a standalone dish or alongside your favorite summer mains.

Notes

Choose ripe but firm peaches for the best flavor. Mix and match different types of heirloom tomatoes for a more complex and visually appealing salad. Omit the feta cheese or use a plant-based alternative to make this salad vegan-friendly. For extra texture, consider adding toasted nuts like almonds or walnuts.
