This Peach, Tomato & Basil Salad features fresh, juicy ripe peaches, sweet red and yellow tomatoes picked fresh from the vine and fragrant basil. Isn’t this what summer is all about?
I’m all in favor of simple dishes with fresh ingredients. This Peach, Tomato & Basil Salad doesn’t get any easier.
The Georgia Peach Truck made a pit stop here in Columbus, Ohio and now I have more peaches than I know what to do with.
This is a great way to use up those peaches without spending all day in the kitchen.
Peaches and tomatoes pair wonderfully together.
A drizzle of olive oil, some fresh cracked pepper and a splash of aged balsamic vinegar, will turn a regular summer salad into something special.

This is my type of salad! I love that it uses peaches. Kind of reminds me of a caprese salad without the cheese.

I’d toss in some fresh mozzarella and call it lunch…my lunch and no one else’s.
You are so right. Mozzarella would be delicious tossed in.
