Fresh Late Summer Garden Salad
This vibrant salad is the perfect way to enjoy the best tomatoes, corn, and peaches from the late summer harvest.
recipesbynani.comLate summer is truly the best time of year for produce. Everything is ripe, sweet, and bursting with flavor, making it the perfect time to pull together a simple salad that highlights these seasonal treasures.
My favorite thing about this dish is how flexible it is. If you have some extra garden herbs or a different variety of tomato on hand, feel free to toss those in as well for a little extra color.
