Peach and Tomato Salad

Fresh Peach and Tomato Salad can’t be beat for a summertime salad. Try combining fresh peaches and juicy tomatoes, then sprinkle with salty feta for a fabulous summer salad.

Well as promised, I tried reproducing one of the salads we were served at Zap Fitness last week.  I wasn’t sure if it would taste as good when I wasn’t starving. It sounds like a salsa, but trust me it is nothing like salsa. Just a few simple ingredients result in a spectacular and refreshing salad.  Thanks to some fresh tomatoes from a friend and fresh basil from my backyard all I needed was some cheese, nuts and peaches, which I picked up at a fruit stand.  This salad won’t work if the peaches and tomatoes aren’t fresh.

While I add fruit to salsas and sauces, I never would have thought to add tomatoes to fruit. Think of this as peach salad with a twist.  I used pecans, but it was served with toasted almonds, both added a nice crunch. If you aren’t going to eat this right away, I would go with feta for the cheese, as other types will dissolve a little with the juice from the peaches.  Since I was serving it right away, I used goat cheese.  I was thrilled that I could reproduce it and that my family loved it as much as I did.  I hope you enjoy it as well.
