Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Rinse the basil leaves under cold water.
- Pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Stack the basil leaves, roll them tightly, and slice into thin ribbons (a technique known as chiffonade).
- Rinse the cherry tomatoes under cold water.
- Pat them dry.
- Halve or quarter the cherry tomatoes, depending on their size, and place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Rinse the peaches under cold water.
- Pat them dry.
- Slice the peaches in half, remove the pits, and then cut into thin slices or bite-sized chunks.
- Add the peach slices to the mixing bowl with the tomatoes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, a dash of salt, and a dash of black pepper until well combined.
- Pour this dressing over the peach and tomato mixture.
- Gently toss the salad with the basil ribbons until everything is evenly coated with the dressing.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
6. Serve Immediately:
- Transfer the salad to a serving platter or individual plates.
- Enjoy this fresh and flavorful salad as a side dish or a light, summery main course.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, but firm peaches to ensure they hold their shape in the salad.
- Slice the peaches and cherry tomatoes evenly to ensure each bite has a consistent flavor profile.
- Use fresh basil for the best flavor – dried basil won't offer the same aromatic quality.
- For a more complex flavor, try using balsamic vinegar or apple cider vinegar instead of regular vinegar.
- Let the salad sit for a few minutes after mixing to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Add some crumbled feta or goat cheese for an extra layer of flavor and creaminess.
Enjoy your Fresh Peach and Tomato Salad as a light appetizer or a delightful side dish. Its combination of sweet, tangy, and savory flavors will leave your taste buds satisfied and wanting more.
