Hello lovelies, today I have a new quick and easy recipe for you: a tomato peach salad. When I think of something that tastes especially great in summer, it‘s definitely tomatoes and peaches. They never taste as aromatic, sweet and sun-kissed as in the warm summer months (very natural, because then they have season).
This light summer salad with tomatoes, peaches, cucumbers, basil and pine nuts is an absolute delight and tastes delicious with fresh baguette, as a side dish to the grill or even as a light lunch. And apart from that, the beautiful colors are also an absolute feast for the eyes. I added a few red currants, which looked even better.
The aromas of the tomatoes, the sweet peach and the crispy cucumber harmonize wonderfully. The dressing may emphasize the natural taste without dominating it too much. Therefore it‘s kept very light with vinegar, oil and especially the fresh basil. If you can’t find pomegranate treacle, you can replace it with some juice (also orange juice).
Serve the salad with a fresh baguette, that's all it takes. But of course it‘s also great as a light side dish for grilled dishes. Do you like fruits in the salad? I really like this interplay of sweet and savory, especially in the summer. If you are in the mood for more light summer cooking, be sure to try my vegan watermelon feta salad or the fruity couscous salad with apricots. And for your next barbecue, my grilled tofu mushroom skewers with salad are the perfect match.
