This post was inspired by my love for garden tomatoes, peaches and basil. In the summer there is nothing better. This recipe is as easy as it looks. Cut bite-sized pieces of tomato and peaches and rough chop a generous amount of fresh basil. Mix ingredients together with a lip-puckering homemade balsamic vinaigrette and that’s it. I made this salad as a first course for a dinner I made for my yoga teacher recently, and I can say with confidence that she was pretty impressed and got happy just at the sight of it. I think what I love most about this recipe is how it takes single items that taste amazing on their own, puts them together, and creates a totally different flavor. I suppose that’s why they call cooking a culinary art.
