I found this recipe for peach and tomato salad on the internet. It was originally from Southern Living so I had to try it because peaches! tomatoes! goat cheese! Southern Living!
It’s as close as you can come to summer in a bowl and some friends and I gobbled up the whole thing in one sitting.
I didn’t have any white balsamic so I used a plain old brown one and it was lovely. The package of goat cheese I had was 4 oz instead of 3 so I crumbled the entire thing on the salad and I think it was a happier salad because of it!
Try this one while the peaches are sweet and the tomatoes are juicy, before they get hard and mealy, respectively.

This looks great. Love, love peaches. I just moved to Sebastopol, Ca. on your way to Bodega Bay. Give me a call. I somehow didn’t think you were so young. Looking at your picture under Kari…is that you? Stella Rose

No the pic you are looking at is the lovely young lady who helps me with the technical side of my blog! I am MUCH older than she is.
I will try and look you up next time I go to Bodega Bay!!!

It really does sound like Summer Heaven on a plate. When in doubt ‘add more cheese’ I believe!
Pondside,
It’s my new favorite summer salad.

OMG! This is amazing. I never thought about peaches and tomatoes but oh man, this looks delicious. Peaches are peaking right now, and I love them.
Hope you are enjoying your summer.

I saw American peaches at the market and almost succumbed because I miss Summer flavours so much! 😀
