Peach Tomato Salad
When the peaches and tomatoes are both perfectly ripe in late summer, I make this Peach Tomato Salad almost daily! Sweet juicy peaches and garden tomatoes with a few thin slices of onion, crumbled feta, fresh basil, a splash of olive oil and vinegar, it's so simple but so incredibly delicious! This is peach season at its best and you can make it in 10 minutes!
Servings: 4
Calories: 58kcal
Ingredients
- 1 peach ripe
- 1 cup tomato any varieties
- ⅛ cup onion a few thin slices
- ¼ cup feta cheese crumbled
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar (or white wine vinegar)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon fresh basil
Instructions
- Wash and slice a peach, then cut the slices in half into large bite-sized pieces. Chop the tomatoes about the same size. Use any mixture of varieties, large tomatoes can but cut in big chunks, cherry tomatoes can be halved or left whole.
- Add all ingredients to a bowl and use a spoon to gently toss and combine. Spoon the mixture into a serving bowl, trying to layer a few pieces of feta and smaller tomatoes over the top. Garnish with more basil leaves.
- Allow to sit on the counter a few minutes or up to an hour, or serve right away.
Notes
- Onions - Use just a few paper thin slices of any onion, white, yellow, red or shallot.
- Peaches - Use very ripe summer peaches, let sit on the counter a few days to ripen. We love the Colorado peaches in August.
- Tomatoes - A mixture of tomatoes looks really nice, but use whatever ripe summer tomatoes you have.
- Amounts - The amounts don't need to be exact here, and this salad can serve one or two people for lunch, 4 people as a summer side dish, or double or triple the recipe for a larger group. Figure about 1 peach for every 3 people.
- Serving - Serve in a shallow serving dish rather than a deep bowl that the peaches will get crushed at the bottom.
