Last Tuesday, Election Day, I spent the morning in front of Town Hall supporting my candidate and greeting friends and strangers as they came to vote. On this perfect summer day, the people I talked to were thinking more about food than about politics and the most popular topic was peaches.
I was intrigued when I heard Honey and Elizabeth talking about a peach and tomato salad that Honey had made for a dinner party. Luckily, they were willing to tell me about it and I made my version on Wednesday. Here’s how I did it:
Peachy Tomato Salad
I put two ripe peaches and two tomatoes cut into one-inch chunks and one thinly sliced red onion into a shallow bowl. For the dressing, I combined two tablespoons of olive oil, two teaspoons of white wine vinegar, a teaspoon of honey, a pinch of salt and a wee bit of cayenne pepper in a small bowl. When the honey was dissolved, I poured the dressing over the salad and tossed it. I topped the salad with a small handful of torn basil leaves and two tablespoons of goat cheese, cut into quarter inch cubes.>> Print This Post <<
That is a fantastic combination for a salad, and so unique. I am madly in-love with this painting, the peaches are perfect
Sounds delicious. And I’m sure the colors of the tomatoes and peaches went together beautifully. And goat cheese and basil…wow.
WOWZA Carol!! That salad sounds bloody gorgeous! Divine and Luscious.
Peach is one of my favorite fruits, but never used it in a salad. Sounds so appealing for me. Cheese addition makes it more intriguing for me. Thanks for sharing.
