Peach and Tomato Salad

Serves 4

Ingredients

• 4 medium peaches
• 3 medium tomatoes, sliced into wedges
• 1 small red onion (chopped)
• 1 bunch fresh basil (washed)
• 1/8 tsp. salt
• 1/8 tsp. ground black pepper

• 3/4 Tbsp. red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar

Preparation

1. Halve each peach, removing and discarding each pit. Slice each peach into thin wedges for about 4 cups of peaches. (If using canned peaches, drain and rinse the peaches in each can and then slice each half into the thin wedges.) Add peaches into a large bowl.
2. Cut each tomato in half, removing the stem from each one and discarding it. Slice each tomato into wedges for around 4 cups of tomatoes. Add into the bowl with the peaches.
3. Chop one red onion. Add into the bowl with the peaches and tomatoes.
4. Thinly slice the basil leaves or tear the leaves into pieces for 1 cup basil. Add to the bowl along with salt, pepper, oil, and vinegar. Gently stir to combine the ingredients. Serve.
