PEACH SALAD WITH TOMATOES, FETA & BASIL VINAIGRETTE

A quick summer recipe which would make a good side with chicken on the grill. (Though we ate this for dinner alone last night). This one is from the Cooking Channel!

Ingredients

• ¼ cup torn fresh basil leaves

• ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

• ¼ cup sherry vinegar (we only had red wine vinegar, which worked just fine)

• 1 tablespoon honey

• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

• 1 small shallot, chopped

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 1 ½ lbs heirloom tomatoes, chopped (about two large)

• 4 or 5 ripe peaches, sliced into wedges (I cut these in half)

• ½ cup crumbled feta cheese, as garnish

Prep

1. In a blender, combine the basil, olive oil, vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, and shallots. 

2. Emulsify until the basil is pureed.

3. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

4. Combine the peaches and tomatoes in a bowl then add in the dressing and toss well.

5. Serve with feta cheese on top.

Enjoy!
