Peach and Tomato Salad

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: fresh burrata

💰Cheaper: feta cheese

Feta offers a tangy flavor at a lower cost.

balsamic vinegar

🥗Healthier: apple cider vinegar

💰Cheaper: red wine vinegar

Red wine vinegar is less expensive and still provides acidity.

Start with about 1/4 cup of sweet red onion, slice it thin, and break it apart into rings.

Use 1/2 pound of ripe peaches, cut them into wedges, and remove the pit by cutting around it.

Take 1/4 pound of ripe tomatoes, cut them into wedges, and if necessary, cut the wedges in half for bite-sized pieces.

Add 1/4 pound of cherry tomatoes, using a mix of colors if available.

In a bowl, mix together 1 1/2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, 1 teaspoon of honey, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of sherry vinegar.

Whisk the dressing well to combine, ensuring the honey is fully mixed in.

Drizzle the dressing over the salad ingredients in a separate bowl to toss them gently without bruising the fruits.

Transfer the salad to a serving platter or bowl to avoid losing any dressing.

Top the salad with 1 ounce of crumbled feta cheese for added texture and flavor.

Finish by adding about 1 tablespoon of torn basil on top.
