I may have to try this once I get some ripe tomatoes. I never thought of peaches with tomatoes, but a good peach and a good tomato can't be beat! Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteI never considered marrying peaches with tomatoes. Sounds different.
ReplyDeleteLove a moz and tomato salad but I have never put peaches on mine. Sounds like something I might try. I also, love making a tomato sandwich with moz cheese and then I throw on some basil. YUM
ReplyDeleteThe salad is definitely great.

ReplyDeletewow looks so good and perfect for hot day.

ReplyDeleteI have heard of spinach with pears and orange with fennel, but not of peaches with mozzarella cheese. I will give it a try, as it seems perfect in Summer. In addition, I think that salad is a well balanced dish (carbs and protein). Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAnother tasty looking meal.
ReplyDeleteMy kind of salad!!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so good!
ReplyDeleteOooh, that sounds real yummy!
ReplyDeleteThe salad looks very good. In the summer I always like to have any kind of salad.
