This is such a simple salad that really allows beautiful, fresh ingredients to shine. The tomatoes get a slight dose of sweetness from the peach, balanced with the quick pickled radishes for a delicate, sour almost pungent flavour. Creamy goat cheese adds saltiness while chilli oil brings a touch of heat.
Swaps, Serves & Storage
Can I use any other tomatoes for this recipe?
Yes — firm cherry tomatoes work well too.
What can I swap the goat cheese with?
Crumbly, salty feta is a great alternative. For a vegan option, use cashew cheese.
What fruits can I use instead of peaches?
Thinly sliced nectarines, white peaches or underripe plums are great swaps.
What should I serve this heirloom tomato salad with?
Serve as a side to grilled chicken or fish, or with crusty bread to mop up the dressing.
Can I prep this salad ahead of time or store it?
Best eaten fresh. The dressing will soak into the peaches and tomatoes and make them soggy after a few hours. You can pickle the radish ahead of time though.
Tips & Tricks
Temperatures matter:
Tomatoes taste best at room temperature. If possible, keep ingredients out of the fridge (except goat cheese) for 30 minutes before assembling so everything reaches the optimum temperature.
