Minted Peach and Tomato Salad
This salad was inspired by the goodness of these two fruits, both at their peak in late summer.

Minted Peach and Tomato Salad
Russell's Wednesday Dinner
Nutritious and Delicious!
Delicious! My husband wasn't excited when I told him about wanting to try it, since he's not a fan of mint. He loved it! I made a very small version for the 2 of us--1 tomato & 1/2 peach, & didn't have any celery on hand. Might make a larger version with more varieties of tomatoes & the celery for a pot luck which is coming up. Definitely will make again!
Very enjoyable. I cut the tomatoes
