This is perfect for those beef steak tomatoes from your garden (or from your friends or neighbors who are so kind to share with you) and big juicy peaches that are being sold at the farmers market (or ones you pick up at WalMart like I did).
In a perfect world I would have a garden with 10 different varieties of tomatoes but alas I had to turn to the local grocery store for my "garden" tomatoes. They came from someones garden just not mine.
The 3 main characters of this show...tomatoes, peaches, and onions.
3 beef steak tomatoes cut into wedges and whatever other variety you want to throw in there. I like to have some cherry tomatoes or those yellow pear tomatoes add some pretty color along with great taste.
4-5 peaches pitted and cut into wedges
1 sweet onion or red onion sliced thin
DRESSING
3 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup of olive oil
1 tablespoon of honey, sugar, or sugar substitute
1 teaspoon of salt
(I like to put a couple of shakes of Italian seasoning.)
DIRECTIONS:
Just chop up fruit and onion and combine them in a bowl. Whisk together the dressing ingredients and pour over the salad. Easy and delicious!
If you are big on basil you can throw that in. I make it with and without.
Feta cheese is another add in that just enhances the goodness of this simple salad. But if you are a purest you will enjoy this with just the fruit.
Happy Labor Day! Whether you are laboring or not, I hope you find it satisfying.
