            Cucumber & Peach Salad with Fresh Herbs

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 lb. mixed heirloom cucumbers, sliced into ¼"-thick wedges and rounds
  • 1 English hothouse cucumber, halved lengthwise, sliced crosswise
  • Kosher salt
  • 2 lb. yellow peaches, sliced into ¾"-thick wedges
  • 4 oz. mild feta, crumbled ( or burrata, or small bocconcini )
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Handful of basil leaves, torn if large
  • Handful of mint leaves, torn if large

Dressing

 Mix together everything except the olive oil - then drizzle the oil as you whisk everything together.

DIRECTIONS

  • Place cucumbers in a medium bowl and season with salt. Spoon half of vinaigrette over and toss gently to coat.

  • Place peaches in a serving bowl or on a platter and season with salt. Spoon remaining vinaigrette over and toss gently with your hands to coat.

  • Add cucumbers to peaches; toss gently again just to combine. Add feta; season with salt and pepper. Top salad with basil and mint and squeeze lemon over.
