Oats Free Mediterranean Tomato, Peach & Cucumber Salad

This vibrant salad is a celebration of peak-summer produce, layering juicy cherry tomatoes, sweet peach wedges, and cool cucumber with the briny pop of Castelvetrano olives. The whole thing comes together with a bright lemon and olive oil dressing warmed by cumin and turmeric — it's unexpected in the best possible way. Letting the red onion sit in the dressing for a few minutes before adding the rest of the ingredients is a small step that makes a big difference, mellowing its sharpness and infusing every bite with flavor. Torn fresh mint and basil folded in at the end keep the herbs lively and fragrant rather than wilted. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from grains and grain-based additives, so there's no label-scanning or substitution stress involved. An optional scatter of dry-roasted pistachios on top adds a satisfying crunch and a little richness that ties the Mediterranean flavors together beautifully. Serve it immediately for the freshest texture, or bring it to a summer gathering and watch it disappear.
