Instructions
  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Wash and slice the peaches and tomatoes. Tear the basil leaves into smaller pieces.
  2. Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, gently combine the peaches, tomatoes, and basil. If using feta cheese, sprinkle it over the top.
  3. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper.
  4. Dress the Salad: Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.

Notes

For the best flavor, use ripe, juicy peaches and tomatoes. Heirloom tomatoes add a beautiful color and rich taste. Consider adding toasted nuts like almonds or walnuts for extra texture. This salad is best enjoyed fresh, but you can prepare the dressing ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator.
