Tomato Peach and Avocado Salad
Even though its mid August, for me summer is still here for a while. In New York it doesn’t really start to get cool until October-ish. So that luckily means the summer dishes will still remain in my kitchen for a while longer. Don’t even talk to me about pumpkins yet please.
The key component of this salad is to whisk together the dressing FIRST in order to allow the tomatoes and onions to marinate. This process allows the tomatoes the time to release their juices and the onions to break down their texture and sharp flavor.
The peaches are my favorite part of this salad, but you can sub in nectarines or mangoes here as well. Also a big fan of the fresh mozzarella. For the bacon, you can also substitute in prosciutto instead. Whichever nut you use, (walnuts, almonds, pumpkin seeds) make sure you toast them for added flavor.

Tomato Peach Avocado Salad
Ingredients
Dressing:
Salad:
- 1 lb campari tomatoes, quartered
- 1/2 red onion, sliced thin
- 6 slices bacon, cooked crispy + chopped
- 3 ears corn, cooked + shaved
- 2 tbs pine nuts, toasted
- 2 peaches, sliced
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 5 oz fresh mozzarella, torn up
- Garnish: Fresh Basil leaves
Instructions
- To a large bowl, whisk together all of the Dressing ingredients. Taste and adjust flavors if necessary.
- FIRST OFF, add the tomatoes and onions to the bowl and toss to coat in the dressing. Let them sit while you prep the rest of the ingredients. This time marinating will allow the texture and flavor of the onion to break down and allow the tomatoes to release their juices into the dressing.
Stella, This salad rules!! Thank you! How didn’t I think of it?! 🙂 Doubled the recipe because I knew my salad loving family would want it two days in a row. I was not wrong! Used regular balsamic and pepitas because I already had them, but next time I will try white balsamic and pine nuts. I think this is my 18 month old’s new favorite meal 🩵
Hi Kandis, I love to read that! Glad it was a winner for everyone in the family too! Thanks for trying it out and taking the time to rate the recipe too!
The taste is unusual! I made this salad for dinner and it was amazing! Thank you!
Hi Nina, glad you liked the salad!
YUM
definitely!!
It’s peach season and your recipe didn’t disappoint at all! I didn’t have all the ingredients and substituted the bacon with turkey bacon, used dried oregano, used regular balsamic dressing, and didn’t use the avocado. All I can say is wow!! This is so good, and you have to try it either way. I can’t wait to make this again. Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe! ~Kelly
