TOMATO PEACH SALAD



Tomato Peach Salad image

Light and refreshing summer salad! Ripe tomatoes and peaches are delicious on their own, but even better together in this colorful combination. I adapted a recipe from Cooking Light Magazine to have a bolder taste from earthy arugula and sweet corn off the cob. I can't get enough corn during the summer, and leave it uncooked for crunch, but cooked is fine if you prefer. The sweetness of the fruits balance the bitterness of the arugula, though if you still don't like the bite, the salad is plenty good without!

Categories     Corn

Time 15m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tomatoes
2 peaches

Steps:

  • 1. Slice the tomatoes and peaches into wedges, about 1/2 inch thick. Slice the red onion into very thin strips.

  • 3. Combine tomatoes, peaches, red onion, and corn in a bowl.
  • 4. Combine vinegar, oil, and honey with a dash of salt and pepper and mix well. Drizzle this over the fruit and give it a toss to coat. Add more salt/pepper to taste.
  • 5. Layer a serving plate with the arugula, and top with the coated fruit.

TOMATO AND PEACH SALAD WITH WHIPPED GOAT CHEESE



Tomato and Peach Salad With Whipped Goat Cheese image

Whizzed in the food processor with some heavy cream and lemon zest, earthy goat cheese becomes rich and creamy, the perfect complement to juicy peaches and tomatoes. Fresh purslane, if you can find it, provides a slight crunch to the salad, but mâche or watercress would also work well. You could also tear up some basil, parsley or other tender herbs you have lying around and toss those in just before serving. Colorful, fresh and easy, this salad works as a starter, a side or a summery supper, piled on top of grilled bread.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard, preferably Maille brand
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon zest, plus 2 teaspoons juice
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/4 small red onion, very thinly sliced
4 ounces soft goat cheese or feta
6 tablespoons heavy cream

2 medium peaches (about 12 ounces), halved, pitted and cut into 1/2-inch wedges
1 packed cup torn purslane, mâche or watercress (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk the olive oil, vinegar, mustard and lemon juice. Season generously with salt and pepper, stir in the red onion and set aside.
  • Crumble the goat cheese into the bowl of a food processor and whip until creamy, scraping down the sides of the work bowl as needed, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the heavy cream and lemon zest and whip just until fluffy, about 1 minute, scraping the bowl as needed. Transfer to a bowl and season to taste with salt.
  • Spread the whipped goat cheese on a large serving platter or in shallow bowl, distributing it evenly using the back of a spoon. Add the tomato wedges, peach wedges and purslane to the dressing and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Place on top of the whipped goat cheese and serve immediately.

PEACH AND TOMATO SALAD



Peach and Tomato Salad image

From the *Tomato Cookbook* of the Australian Womens Weekly cookbook series comes this salad full of flavor, texture & color. While the recipe uses fresh peaches & that would clearly be best when in season, IMO it still works well w/canned peaches because it is just plain good either way. It can also be expanded by adding shrimp or chicken. You just really cannot go wrong w/this recipe. *Enjoy* !
