Cook's Note
This recipe goes well with grilled chicken.
This dish is sooooo good! I can't get enough of it while peaches are in season. The flavor combination is phenomenal. Hear more about this dish including pictures here http://gustatorydelight.wordpress.com/2011/05/22/summer-sides/
Simple, easy, beautiful and delicious! We substituted fresh mint for the basil as we have an abundance of mint in our yard. Can't wait to have it again.
The cracked pepper and olive oil really enhanced the peach flavor. I also tried a simple salad with peach, lime juice, orange juice, and walnut dressing. Creamy, vegan, and light.
