Peach, tomato and feta salad
Peach, tomato and feta salad is a refreshing and delicious summer side or light meal.
This is great summer salad! The colours are reminiscent of a flirty summer dress (or a Hawaiian shirt) and the taste is bright, sweet, salty, crisp and absolutely perfect.
Typical fruit salads are great, but we also love to have fun with ingredients. Some of you may not have thought to combine peaches with tomatoes or to serve feta in the same bowl as sweet fruit. But, if you’ve been around these parts long enough you know that feta pairs beautifully with the fresh tastes of summer, like watermelon! You can see that combination in action here, and here.
We’re pretty sure that if you try this peach, tomato and feta salad you will be hooked! It is easy, pretty and satisfying.
Helpful hints
Use quality ingredients for the peach, tomato and feta salad.
The better the ingredients, the better the salad. Buy vine-ripened tomatoes (or pick them from your garden if you’re lucky), sweet peaches and good quality Greek feta.
Add some sweetness to the vinaigrette.
We like to add either a bit of pure maple syrup or honey to the dressing. You can also use agave or even some brown sugar. Alternatively, you can omit the sweetener in the vinaigrette.
Serve the salad as a side or as a light meal.
You can easily make this peach, tomato and feta salad lunch, or you can serve it alongside some other deliciousness. We love to pair bright salads such as this one with chicken souvlaki or pork souvlaki. It would go equally well with grilled steak or amazing lamb burgers.
