It’s not flashy. But this peach salad has been speaking to me SO MUCH these last few weeks. It’s a textural wonder: a gentle layering of juicy and slippery, flexible and foldy. We’ve got fresh cucumber, bitey shallots, cooling mint, and sweet fleshy peaches coming together in serious flavor harmony. The lime juice in there wakes it up and makes it feel extra summery, and the flecks of lime zest, salt, and pepper make it feel like something you’d eat at a nice restaurant. (Be right back, I’ve just convinced myself to make it again for lunch.) Don’t be mad at me: it’s mid-July, and I often just… eat this on its own. Maybe a bit of toasted buttered sourdough or focaccia on the side. Absolute favorite type of summer eating. But if we’re looking for something a bit more make-it-a-meal here, I can speak to that as well because I pair it with pretty much everything right now. For dinners, I started by serving it with air fryer salmon skewers, then went to air fryer chicken, and most recently I’ve been having these rice bowls with spicy shrimp and this peach salad and it is so divine that it’ll likely become a new blog post next week. Close your eyes. Feel that warm summer air on your skin. Put an imaginary peach up to your nose and breathe in that intoxicating peach scent. We get to eat this gold! Nature has given us these gorgeous foods for such a time as this! ♡

2. Welcome To My House! Let’s Make a Gorgeous Peach Salad! 1 Slice That Peachy Goodness! Slices are ideal, in my opinion! Those thin, long pieces just layer together really nicely. You can do it by hand, but a mandoline is my must-have tool for this! (affiliate link) 2 Get The Cucumbers Saucy. I kind of like the cucumbers to have a softer, more bendy quality in this salad, so I let them sit with the shallots in lime juice, salt, and olive oil for a while to loosen em up. 3 Add Peaches, Mint, and Honey! Give it a gentle toss. Season as you like. I love hot honey in this salad. Like, LOVE. 4 You’re Done! Yum! Seriously so good. One of my favorites for a quick, beautiful, fresh summer meal or side. Also great with avocado slices in there!
