Ingredients
Scale
4 large ripe peaches
2 tablespoons honey
Juice of 1 large lime
1 teaspoon lime zest
10–12 fresh basil leaves
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Optional: 1/4 cup chopped toasted pecans or walnuts
Instructions
- Prepare your peaches: Wash and dry the peaches, then slice them into thin wedges or bite-sized chunks.
- Mix the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, fresh lime juice, lime zest, and sea salt until smooth and shiny.
- Chop the basil: Stack the basil leaves, roll them into a tight cigar shape, then slice thinly to create fine ribbons (chiffonade).
- Toss it all together: In a large bowl, gently combine the peach slices with the honey-lime dressing and basil. Fold carefully to coat each piece without breaking the fruit.
- Let it rest: Cover and refrigerate for about 15-20 minutes before serving.
