Fresh peach and tomato salad with basil

Embrace the vibrant flavors of summer with this refreshing Fresh Peach and Tomato Salad. Combining the sweetness of ripe peaches, the acidity of cherry tomatoes, and the aromatic punch of fresh basil, this simple yet elegant salad is perfect for any occasion. A touch of vinegar, salt, and pepper brings all the ingredients together, creating a delightful medley of tastes and textures.

Ingredients:

5 leafs basil
2.50g
1 cup cherry tomatoes
150g
2 cups peaches
310g
1.90 tbsp vinegar
30g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Basil:
- 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).
2. Prepare the Cherry Tomatoes:
- 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.
3. Prepare the Peaches:
- 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.
4. Dress the Salad:
- 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.
5. Combine and Serve:
- 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. Perfect for a summer barbecue or a quick, healthy snack, this salad highlights the best of seasonal produce with minimal effort. Bon appétit!
