If you’ve ever had a Panzanella salad before, this is somewhat similar. Besides the obvious addition of peach. Hey, Peach Panzanella maybe? Too late, we’ve gone with Tomato Peach Salad 😂 Follow me…
Bring on the Beige!
Salads are an opportunity to load in as many colourful ingredients as possible. But let’s not act like some of the best food in life isn’t beige 😅. This salad does indeed have a few additions that are the colour of beige, but for good reason, of course.
Croutons
So strictly speaking you could buy the croutons, but they’re way too easy not to make. I actually like to tear up a bagel for the croutons, but ciabatta or sourdough both work well too. No need to neatly slice, just use your hands to tear off small chunks. Keep it nice and rustic.
Prosciutto & Pine Nuts
The other two additions we’ve got are prosciutto and pine nuts, both of which are going to get baked alongside the croutons. You could keep the prosciutto as it is, but it crisps up so beautifully! Process shots: tear bagel and coat in oil, garlic powder and salt (photo 1), add prosciutto then bake (photo 2), add pine nuts (photo 3), bake again (photo 4).
Tomato and Peach Salad
Marinated Tomatoes
The tomatoes make up the bulk of this salad, so it’s important to present them at their tastiest. To do that, we’re going to marinate them. Marinating the tomatoes will inject some gorgeous flavour into them. It’ll also draw out moisture to help form the marinade. Only needs to be 30mins or so, or even just as you prep the rest of the salad! Process shots: add extra virgin olive oil, vinegar, basil, salt and pepper to bowl (photo 1), whisk to combine (photo 2), add red onion and tomatoes (photo 3), toss to combine (photo 4), add in croutons, prosciutto and pine nuts (photo 5), toss to combine (photo 6).
Serving Tomato Peach Salad
To finish, we’re going to nestle in some mozzarella and sprinkle over some fresh basil leaves! I tend to serve this in a large dish and have people tuck right in, but you could serve individual portions if you’d prefer.
Can I make this ahead of time?
I wouldn’t make the whole thing ahead of time, just because the prosciutto and croutons will go soft; but you can certainly marinate the tomatoes and tightly store in the fridge until needed, then crack on with the rest of the recipe just before serving. Alrighty, let’s tuck into the full recipe for this peach tomato salad shall we?!
