Teeny McMunn: My Recipe Box

Well, this is a combination I would not have thought of, but apparently it's not uncommon. I didn't make it this weekend but I may later. I love a good peach, love a fresh tomato so the combination interested me. I had to look up whether tomato was a fruit or vegetable. It is considered a fruit so that makes this a fruit salad.

The recipe had several fruit salad combinations. One was cucumbers and honeydew melons. Maybe we should rethink and try different combinations.

INGREDIENTS:

½ c. balsamic vinegar

¼ c. olive oil

1 Tbsp honey

½ tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

6 med ripe peaches, pitted and cut into wedges

2 pounds tomatoes, cut into wedges (about 4 med. tomatoes) and/or cherry tomatoes halved

1c. thinly sliced red onion

1 c. crumbled feta cheese

1c. pecan halves, toasted

½ c. torn fresh basil

DIRECTIONS:

In an extra-large bowl whisk together vinegar, oil, honey salt and black pepper. Add peaches, tomatoes, red onion, cheese and pecans to coat. Top with basil and serve immediately

MY NOTES:

Kinda short and sweet.  I do know that toasting nuts gives them a unique flavor so I would suggest to do that or use walnuts, but also toasted.

This was given a 5-star rating. Let me know if you try it or if you did something a bit different.

ENJOY. 
