Summer’s Best Panzanella

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

About the Recipe: The juiciest red and yellow tomatoes combine with a touch of sweet fresh peaches and are tossed with an onion, garlic vinaigrette and fragrant basil leaves. Seasoned croutons are crisp yet slightly moistened by the dressing.  The fresh flavor makes a winning salad to serve.

Prepare Salad:  In large bowl, combine cut red and yellow tomatoes, peaches, and onions. In a small bowl, combine red wine vinegar, olive oil, garlic, salt and black pepper to taste.  Pour over tomatoes; toss to combine.  Allow mixture to sit for about 10 minutes or longer to blend flavors.

Before serving, toss croutons with the tomatoes in a large bowl. Let rest about 5 minutes to absorb some of the dressing. Place in serving bowl; tear basil leaves; lightly scatter around salad; garnish with a whole basil sprig in center.

Yield: Serves 4
