Ingredients
  

4 ripe peaches, sliced

2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved (use a mix of colors for a vibrant dish)

1 small red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn

1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon honey (optional)

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for a kick)

Instructions
 

Prepare the ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, halved cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion.

    Add the basil: Gently fold in the torn basil leaves, being careful not to bruise them.

      Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey (if using), salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Adjust seasoning to taste.

        Dress the salad: Pour the dressing over the peach and tomato mixture and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.

          Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving platter or bowl. Top with crumbled feta cheese, if desired, for a creamy contrast.

            Chill (optional): For best flavor, let the salad sit for about 10-15 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate for a cooler experience.

              Garnish: Drizzle with a bit more balsamic vinegar and a sprinkle of fresh basil just before serving for an extra pop of flavor.
