Hi there– I’ve been reading some of my favorite bloggers talking about what’s coming out of their gardens this summer. Fun to see your kale and summer squash and spicy peppers! Our humble little garden (besides sprouting lots of weeds!) has produced tomatoes a plenty and nice healthy basil.
So tonight for dinner I wanted to use some of those tomatoes that are piling up in the kitchen! And here’s the result. Fresh and bright, colorful and so simple– fine for a summer supper.
PEACHY TOMATO SALAD WITH HONEY TARRAGON DRESSING
Salad:
4 ripe Roma tomatoes
1 large ripe peach
2 -3 tablespoons feta, crumbled
basil sprigs
Dressing:
3 tab. olive oil
2 tab. tarragon vinegar
1 tab. honey
salt & freshly ground pepper to taste
Cut the tomatoes into wedges and the peach in smallish chunks. Spread them on a platter and crumble the feta over the top. Sprinkle on the basil leaves.
For the dressing, combine the oil, vinegar, honey and salt & pepper in a container with a tight fitting lid. Shake it until the ingredients combine thoroughly. Pour it over the salad when you are ready to serve it up.
The Thankful Heart 
Hi, great recipe. Can I substitute tarragon vinegar for something else?
Hi!! Sure– any mild vinegar would work–like cider vinegar or red wine vinegar or rice vinegar… I tried to get to your blog from here but it was not up– are you still blogging??
Hi! Yes I am still blogging. It’s strange that you can’t reach my blog, I’ll have hat checked out. It’s wontonwoman.wordpress.com
Hi WW!! thanks! I checked on your posts– the Za’ztar bread looked amazing! xo
Hi Rhonda, that’s wonderful that you have tomatoes now! Ours usually aren’t ready until September! I must try this salad! Blessings to you. I hope you’re enjoying your summer!>3
HI Mary!! Crazy! by September our tomatoes are on the way out… Summer has been good. Spent 10 days with our kids up north and did Vacation Bible School at church this week– that was a whole lot of crazy fun! What have you been up to?? hugs from here!!
We used to bring our boys to vacation Bible school , they had so much fun. It sounds like you keep busy! That’s the best thing. I’m enjoying summer the best I can. Hugs to you friend🏡😃
Hi Mary– yep, I love the week of VBS. Had 14 kids from my old school that went along with me. An exciting exhausting week! hugs hugs!
Wow, that’s a lot of kids! Sounds like fun, Rhonda!😍
It was a crazy fun week Mary!! How’s your weekend ahead look?? hugs hugs!
Hi Rhonda, it looks like we will have nice weather this weekend. I’ll garden and do more house cleaning for our company. Do you have any fun plans? I hope so. Hugs 😉🌈
Happy cleaning– hope you have a sweet time with your mother-in-law! xo
Thank you, Rhonda. Thinking of you, friend. God Bless you.❤❤❤
thankful for you Mary. xo
God Bless you, Rhonda. 💗💗💗
That looks like a beautiful salad Rhonda. The combination is simple but effective (:
Hi Nick– that’s what I like in the summer— something simple! Loved those pork sliders you posted!! You know how to make food beautiful!
Hi Rhonda! I’m bookmarking this for when our tomatoes come in…We have one on the vine that is just starting to turn pinkish, but the rest are going to be quite a while, yet.
Hi Mollie– are you home now?? or gardening at your folk’s?? Loved your Thai slaw and those Thai chicken sandwiches!! Hope you are picking tomatoes by now!! xox
We have ONE almost ready to pick! Tomorrow I think. At the folks and Dad and I go out and look at it every day, lol!!
Visiting your tomato!! ha ha ha! Hope it’s delicious! How does your weekend look?? Have plans?? I’m baking cakes for a big family baby shower– should be fun. sos
Big news, here, lol – we picked TWO tomatoes today!! 🙂 We have not tasted them yet. We want to get a picture first, haha!! 🙂 You have so much going on but hope to see more cakes now that you’re making them for the shower!! Have fun! xo
Hi Mollie– back when we lived in Spain my Dad would send up pictures of his crop (3 or 4 tomatoes!) and say was going to sell the crop and buy tickets to come see us!! Hope they are delicious– and make brilliant photos!! Happy tomato eating!! hugs hugs!
lol!! We are up to 5 tomatoes now and just figured out that at this point each tomato works out to be about $3.16, lol!! Hopefully we’ll get enough to lower that considerably, haha!
ha ha ha! I’m sure they are worth every penny! xo
🙂
Wow! I love tomato salad, Rhonda! Thanks for sharing Rhnda! xoxox
Hi Lillly!! thanks thanks. We have so many tomatoes coming in ripe in the yard– we’ll be eating them every meal! hugs friend!
Hi Rhonda – gorgeous colors here! I hope you summer is going well and you are not baking out there in sunny CA. We had 8 (!!) inches or rain here this week so now (that we have dried out) all the flowers and lawns are looking superb! -K
8 inches!!! Sounds awesome Kat!! That’s what we love about the midwest. It’s so green. Last summer when we were in Wisconsin I talked to one of our daughter’s neighbors about her gorgeous front yard– and then this winter it was just empty and brown! But I’ll be it’s beautiful all over again by now! Happy Summer! hugs hugs!
