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)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and dry all produce thoroughly.
Step 2
Cut the peaches into thin wedges, discarding the pits.
Step 3
Slice the red and yellow bell peppers into thin strips, about the same size as the peach wedges.
Step 4
Thinly slice the red onion into delicate half-moons.
Step 5
Chop the fresh basil leaves into fine ribbons using the chiffonade technique, or leave them whole for a rustic presentation.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, sea salt, and black pepper until the dressing is well emulsified.
Step 7
In a large salad bowl, combine the peaches, bell peppers, red onion, and basil leaves.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
If using, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top for an added layer of flavor.
Step 10
Serve immediately or let the salad sit for 10-15 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld.
