Refreshing cucumber and peach salad with zesty basil vinaigrette - a perfect summer dish that pairs beautifully with grilled meats.
Ingredients:
  • For the salad:
  • 1 (12-14-inch) English cucumber, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 2 fresh peaches, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • For the vinaigrette:
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons finely grated lime zest, from 1 lime
  • Zest of 1 lime
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 4 large fresh basil leaves, plus more for garnish
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated black pepper, or to taste
Instructions:
  • Combine the chopped peaches and cucumbers in a spacious bowl.
  • Prepare the vinaigrette by combining oil, vinegar, lime zest and juice, honey, basil, salt, and pepper in a bowl or mini food processor. Pulse until the basil is finely chopped and the vinaigrette is well blended.
  • Coat the peach and cucumber mixture with the vinaigrette by pouring it over and stirring until evenly dressed.
  • Serve immediately on a decorative platter and garnish with torn basil leaves.
