This recipe came to me on a whim. I wanted to try it, so I did. It was a GREAT hit with my friends and family - even children! Please give it a shot! You'll LOVE it! Ingredients:
4 large tomatoes |
5 peaches |
1 large red onion |
1 1/2 cups fresh basil leaves |
1 cup reduced-fat feta cheese |
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil |
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar |
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar |
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar |
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar |
1 teaspoon garlic powder |
1 teaspoon oregano |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
Directions:
1. Wash all fresh ingredients. Slice the tomatoes wedges to desired thickness – add to salad bowl. Slice the red onion in thin strips – add to bowl.
2. Slice the peaches in halves and pit them. Place the peaches on a hot grill (face down) for approximately 3 minutes - until they have grill marks, but are a little firm. Slice the grilled peaches to desired thickness (I like a little thinner than the tomato) – add to the bowl.
3. Combine all ingredients for the vinaigrette together in a separate bowl and then add to tomato, onion, and peaches – lightly mix.
4. Add the basil – add as the whole leaf, do not slice (think lettuce).
5. Crumble the feta in, if you wish for more – feel free to add, if you wish for less – add less.
6. Mix all ingredients together well.
7. I finish by adding some extra feta on the top, and you’re done!
