Char’s Peach, Cherry & Tomato Salad

Chop + plop in bowl + toss = my kinda ‘cooking’!

Note: this is what I call a ‘loose’ salad. Meaning: no need to stress about exact measurements AND it’s the perfect excuse to use up any fresh herbs you may have on hand (or in your garden: basil, chives and/or oregano will work too!).

Hope you & your gang love this salad as much as I do. Pair with seared salmon, a burger off the grill (my fave) and/or serve with Sunday brunch (add edible flowers as I did for an additional dose of summertime).

Ingredients

• 3 ripe peaches, washed, seed removed and cut in chunks
• 1 cup (250 mL) halved grape tomatoes (or chopped tomatoes of choice – you may have a garden full of them!!)
• 1 cup (250 mL) pitted and halved cherries
• 1/2 cup (125 mL) roughly chopped fresh mint
• 1/4 cup (60 mL) roughly chopped fresh parsley
• crumbled goat cheese (OR torn Buffalo mozzarella)
• pinch salt & pepper
• splash of olive oil

Directions

1. Toss together all ingredients and ta-da = August-in-a-bowl salad!
2. Makes about 3 cups (750 mL).
