Description

Fresh cucumber, bitey shallots, cooling mint, and sweet fleshy peaches coming together in serious flavor harmony! I love this peach salad.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 peaches, pitted and sliced (about 2 cups)
  • half an English cucumber, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
  • half a shallot, thinly sliced (about 1/4 cup)
  • 23 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 lime, juiced and zested (about 1 tablespoon juice, 1 teaspoon zest)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • mint leaves (about 2 packed tablespoons)
  • 23 teaspoons honey to finish (I like hot honey!)

Instructions

  1. Do all your slicing / prep! I like to use a mandoline for the shallots and cucumber. (affiliate link)
  2. Toss the cucumbers and shallots with the lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, and a bit of salt and pepper. Let them sit for 5-15 minutes. 
  3. Add peaches, mint leaves, and a drizzle of hot honey. Toss gently to combine. 
  4. To make it extra pretty, serve with extra mint leaves, honey honey, and salt and pepper on top! Eat right away, within an hour.

Notes

Yes, you can use nectarines – it’s great!

I don’t bother to peel the peaches. Long live the vibrant, colorful, fiber-rich peach peels!

If you don’t have a lime, I’ve made this with vinegar in place of the lime juice and it works great. You just need some kind of acidic element. I used white balsamic vinegar but apple cider vinegar or champagne vinegar would also work.
