Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 large ripe peaches, sliced
  • 2 cups 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 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 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 chunks.
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine the sliced peaches, heirloom tomatoes, and torn basil leaves. If using feta cheese, sprinkle it over the top.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
  4. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly. Be careful not to overmix, as the peaches and tomatoes are delicate.
  5. This salad is best enjoyed fresh, so serve it immediately after dressing. Garnish with additional basil leaves if desired.

Notes

Choose ripe, juicy peaches and flavorful heirloom tomatoes for the best results. Customize the salad with additional ingredients like red onions, cucumber, or avocado. For the best texture, assemble and dress the salad just before serving.
