While the kids were smacking down corn dogs and coleslaw, I was having this:
Cilantro Peach Tomato Salad
So very simple, yet so very good.
We’re talking tomatoes and peaches (or in this case, nectarines), a few slivers of onion, a few red pepper flakes (I used powdered cayenne), and CILANTRO!
(No one is on the fence when it comes to cilantro. You either love it or you…don’t.)
Drizzle with olive oil and splash with lemon or lime juice.
Enjoy!

This recipe has been cross-posted over at my cooking blog. Look, Mom! I’m being thorough!
Looks wonderful. Great light dinner idea for a hot summer night. Have a great 4th.
Have you ever done the one with carrots, blueberries, and sunflower seeds? Yum.
Erin, that was the first one I made!
Please tell me, what is Cilantro _ Never heard of it here in the UK
Mmmmm…yum. Peaches and tomatoes — interesting combination. And I totally love cilantro (even though I despise its seed — how's that for contrary?)!
Cilantro = fresh coriander
I have to agree about cilantro… either love it or hate it. I'm one of those that hate it 😉 But glad you enjoyed.
This looks so great and simple. Mark Bittman was the first cookbook we ever had in our house (How to Cook Everything) and it's falling apart from so much good use. I read his recipes in Cooking Light now, and really admire the light-on-the-meat-and-heavy-on-the-fruits-and-veggies recipes he's come up with.
Looks great, but I am definitely on the hate side of the cilantro fence!
Thanks, I love Coriander
