Summer is a season of abundance when the markets overflow with produce and flavour comes effortlessly. Juicy tomatoes, sun-ripened peaches, and lingering dinners on the patio make these months some of my favourites. It’s a time to celebrate simplicity, savour the season, and connect over good food. In our family, salads are a staple, and this peach tomato salad is summer on a plate and a perfect celebration of everything the land has to offer.
