Looking for a fresh, unique and easy side dish? Look no further than these bright tomato slices with sweet peach salsa.
I had dinner at a friend’s home a while ago, and the hostess went all out serving several types of salads, meats and sides. But my all-time favorite was her tomato slices with peach salsa – I just kept going back for more. There’s something so fresh and delicious about the mixture of tomato, basil and peach and I am now absolutely hooked.
This will become an easy go-to side dish for any dinner party you host – change it up by using colorful heirloom tomatoes, or slicing the tomatoes into wedges. Any way you slice it, this dish will be a hit. Just be sure to choose ripe tomatoes and ripe peaches – their inherently sweet flavor will make all the difference.
Ingredients
- 3 large beefsteak tomatoes, sliced
- 1 large peach, diced
- 3 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar

Dressing:
Directions
