Taken from the guardian. “100 summer salads”, this salad is so refreshing, and full of fresh fruit flavours, but the best bit it is so easy. simplicity itself. A salad full of the flavours of summer.
INGREDIENTS
6 White peaches
6 Large Tomatoes
Basil Leaves
1 Lemon
Salt and Black Pepper
METHOD
Pour boiling water over the peaches and let them stand for 10 to 30 seconds, depending on the ripeness of the fruit. Refresh in cold water and skin.
Do the same for the tomatoes, which should still be firm and full of flavour.
Slice the tomatoes thinly and salt them. Cut the peaches into thin segments.
Arrange them in an overlapping circle, alternating the two fruits. Squeeze the juice of a lemon over the salad and drizzle lightly with oil (very lightly if you are using walnut oil).
Tear six basil leaves and scatter these over the salad. Mill some black pepper, and serve
