This salad has a wonderful mix of fresh flavors! It could even be made into a chunky fresh salsa everything is chopped into mini pieces. I originally found the description in a NY Times article maybe about 5 years ago. The amounts of ingredients just depends on how much you want, I'll list what I used last night.
2 peaches or nectarines, not overly ripe
Similar amount of good tomatoes
Small handful of thin slivers of red onion (I used the white part of spring onions last night)
Juice of 1/2 - 1 lime (+ zest if you want)
Spice to taste- usually red pepper flakes, but have also used slivers of serrano chilis, and fresh chili paste
Olive oil
Large handful of chopped fresh cilantro
(Didn't get a picture of just the salad, but it paired well with tuna poke and coconut brown rice.)
Dice peaches or nectarines into bite size pieces and add to medium bowl.
Add slivers of red or other onion.
Zest some lime over peaches, then squeeze juice and set aside
Add spice, typically a couple dashes of red pepper flakes. (Last night I used 2 tsp of the chili paste, which added a lovely bit of spice.)
Add cilantro and good swirl of olive oil. Mix everything together.
Add tomatoes and sprinkle of lime juice. Stir and taste. Add lime juice and spice to taste.
And voila, you have a salad that has a party of flavors!
