Time 18m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

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

Steps:

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Combine all ingredients for the vinaigrette together in a separate bowl and then add to tomato, onion, and peaches - lightly mix.
  • Add the basil - add as the whole leaf, do not slice (think lettuce).
  • Crumble the feta in, if you wish for more - feel free to add, if you wish for less - add less.
  • Mix all ingredients together well.
  • I finish by adding some extra feta on the top, and you're done!
