I love making this Peach Salad with Tomatoes, Feta, and Basil Vinaigrette during the month of August. It truly seems to celebrate the best of what August has to offer!
Ingredients
Scale
- ¼ cup torn fresh basil leaves
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup good-quality sherry vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 small shallot, roughly chopped
- Kosher salt and cracked black pepper
- 1 ½ pounds heirloom tomatoes, roughly chopped
- 4 to 5 ripe peaches, sliced into wedges
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese, for garnish
Instructions
For the dressing: Combine the basil, olive oil, vinegar, honey, Dijon and shallots in a blender until the dressing emulsifies and the basil is pureed. Season with salt and pepper.
Combine the tomatoes and peaches in a bowl and toss to coat with the dressing. Top with the feta cheese. Serve at room temperature.
