Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole ripe peaches
- 1 whole red bell pepper
- 1 whole yellow bell pepper
- 0.5 whole red onion
- 0.5 cup fresh basil leaves
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
Instructions
Wash and dry all produce thoroughly.
Cut the peaches into thin wedges, discarding the pits.
Slice the red and yellow bell peppers into thin strips, about the same size as the peach wedges.
Thinly slice the red onion into delicate half-moons.
Chop the fresh basil leaves into fine ribbons using the chiffonade technique, or leave them whole for a rustic presentation.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, sea salt, and black pepper until the dressing is well emulsified.
In a large salad bowl, combine the peaches, bell peppers, red onion, and basil leaves.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine, ensuring that the salad is evenly coated but not overly mixed to preserve the texture of the ingredients.
If using, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top for an added layer of flavor.
Serve immediately or let the salad sit for 10-15 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld.
