This peach and tomato salad is a delicious way to taste and celebrate Summer! The combination of skin-on peaches and tomatoes of various colors, sizes, and shapes creates a sweet-savory salad.

1 cup pinto beans, prepared and cooled if using dried

1 lb. tomatoes, sliced or diced

2 medium peaches, sliced or diced

2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

1 large bell pepper, thin slices or diced

1-2 jalapenos, thinly sliced (remove seeds for less heat)

1 bunch fresh tender herbs such as cilantro, parsley, mint, basil

2 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp lime juice or apple cider vinegar

Cook beans if using dried or rinse canned beans. Be sure cooked beans are cooled.

Slice or dice the tomatoes and peaches in similar sizes and place in a large bowl.

Add thinly sliced garlic, sliced/diced bell pepper and thinly sliced jalapeno to the bowl with tomatoes and peaches.

Roughly chop herbs and add to bowl.

Add beans, olive oil, and lime juice/vinegar to the bowl of ingredients.

Toss the salad and enjoy or let sit for 1-4 hours to marinate the flavors. If letting sit, tomatoes will release liquid so you can drain liquid and serve salad with a slotted spoon.
