Ingredients
  

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

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  2. In a large serving bowl, gently combine the sliced peaches, heirloom tomatoes, and torn basil leaves. If using, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top.
  3. Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad. Toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
  4. Serve immediately after assembling. Garnish with additional basil leaves if desired.

Notes

Choose ripe but firm peaches for the best flavor. Heirloom tomatoes come in a variety of colors and flavors, so mix and match for a visually appealing salad. If preparing ahead, store the dressing separately and toss just before serving to prevent sogginess. Add grilled chicken or shrimp to turn this salad into a complete meal.
