ingredients
-
Salad
- 1 peach
- 10 -15 strawberries, to make about 1 3/4 cups
- 1⁄2 apple (firm, not to sweet)
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil leaf
- 1⁄2 tablespoon fresh peppermint leaf
- 1⁄2 tablespoon fresh sage leaf
- 1⁄2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
-
Dressing
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1⁄2 tablespoon walnut oil, can be replaced by olive oil
- 1⁄2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1⁄2 teaspoon honey
- 1 pinch salt
-
Topping
- 1 -2 walnuts, roasted and chopped
directions
- Put all ingredients for the dressing in a small bowl. Whisk together with a fork or small whisker until emulgated. Set aside.
- Rinse the fruits and tap dry with paper towels.
- Cut peach into bite-sized pieces. Cut strawberries in half or bite-sized pieces.
- Remove the core from the apple and cut into bite-sized pieces. Put into small bowl, add apple cider vinegar and mix. This avoids brown discoloring of the apple.
- Add peach and strawberries to apple. Add dressing and mix gently.
- Cut the fresh herb leaves into small strips. Add them to the fruits and mix gently. Add some walnuts as topping and serve immediately.
- ENJOY.
- NOTE: Herb leaves should be prepared shortly before serving to maintain the full flavor. Basil leaves also tend towards getting brown.
- NOTE: We always have fresh basil, peppermint and sage plants in pots on our terrace. So it is very easy to pick up the necessary leaves immediately before use.

This salad is fantastic!!! Peaches aren't really in season yet so as you suggested I used a mango. The colors are stunning and the fresh herbs mix well with the tartness of the fresh fruit. The honey addds just a hint of sweetness that nicely compliments the fruit. Living in pecan country, I used toasted pecans in place of the walnuts. I look forward to making this again and again while fresh strawberries are in season.
