Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 ripe peaches, sliced
  • 4 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 teaspoon honey
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Start by washing and slicing the peaches and tomatoes. Tear the basil leaves into smaller pieces if they are large.
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine the sliced peaches, tomatoes, and torn basil leaves. If using feta cheese, sprinkle it over the top.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  4. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
  5. This salad is best served fresh, so enjoy it right away for the most vibrant flavors and textures.

Notes

Choose ripe produce for the best flavor. For extra texture, consider adding toasted nuts like almonds or walnuts. Make it vegan by skipping the feta cheese or using a plant-based alternative. Serve chilled for a cooler salad.
