About the recipe
My Summer Peach, Tomato and Rocket Salad is everything you want on a warm day — fresh, vibrant, and effortlessly elegant. Juicy ripe peaches meet sweet heirloom tomatoes, peppery rocket and fragrant basil, finished with crunchy pistachios and a bright red wine and lemon dressing. It’s light yet satisfying, bursting with flavour and packed with antioxidants, fibre and heart-healthy fats.This is one of those recipes that feels special enough for entertaining yet simple enough for everyday eating. The natural sweetness of peaches balances beautifully with the acidity of tomatoes and vinegar, while extra virgin olive oil helps enhance nutrient absorption and keeps the dish deeply nourishing.Serve this salad two ways depending on the moment. For a dinner party or something indulgent, pair it with creamy burrata for a luxurious, crowd-pleasing plate. For a weekday lunch or lighter dinner, enjoy it with cottage cheese as a high-protein option, or hummus as a plant-based alternative. It’s also delicious alongside ricotta, poached or roasted chicken, or creamy cannellini beans for added protein and staying power.Fresh, seasonal and endlessly versatile, this peach, tomato and rocket salad is summer eating at its best — simple ingredients, beautiful balance and pure feel-good flavour.
