Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 ripe peaches, sliced
  • 4 large heirloom tomatoes, sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. Assemble the Salad: Arrange the sliced peaches and heirloom tomatoes on a large platter or in a shallow bowl. Scatter the torn basil leaves and crumbled feta cheese over the top.
  3. Drizzle and Serve: Pour the dressing evenly over the salad. Gently toss to combine, ensuring all ingredients are coated with the dressing. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Choose ripe but firm peaches for the best flavor. Add toasted nuts like almonds or walnuts for extra crunch, or swap feta for goat cheese for a milder flavor. Prepare the dressing and slice the ingredients ahead of time, but assemble just before serving for optimal freshness.
