Ingredients
  

2 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced into wedges

2 medium-sized ripe heirloom tomatoes, diced

1 small red onion, thinly sliced

1 cup fresh basil leaves, torn into small pieces

½ cup feta cheese, crumbled

¼ cup high-quality extra-virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Optional: 1 avocado, diced for added creaminess

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by washing the peaches and tomatoes thoroughly, then pat them dry. Cut the peaches into wedges, and dice the heirloom tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. Thinly slice the red onion. Tear the fresh basil leaves into smaller pieces to release their aroma.

    Make the Dressing: In a small mixing bowl, combine the extra-virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Season with a pinch of salt and a few cracks of black pepper. Whisk everything together until the dressing is well blended and smooth, then taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

      Combine the Salad: In a large mixing bowl, gently toss together the peach wedges, diced heirloom tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, and torn basil leaves. If you’re using avocado for extra creaminess, now is the time to delicately fold the diced avocado into the mix, being careful not to mash it.

        Add the Cheese: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese generously over the salad mixture, allowing its creamy texture to complement the other ingredients.

          Dress the Salad: Evenly drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad. Use gentle motions to toss everything together, ensuring that each ingredient is lightly coated with the dressing.

            Chill and Serve: For optimal flavor, let the salad sit for about 10 minutes at room temperature before serving. This resting time allows the flavors to develop. Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature for a refreshing dish.
