Paleo Mediterranean Tomato, Peach & Cucumber Salad

Summer produce doesn't get much more vibrant than this — juicy cherry tomatoes, ripe peach wedges, and crisp cucumber all tossed together with briny Castelvetrano olives and a shower of fresh mint and basil. The combination sounds unexpected, but the sweet-savory contrast is absolutely addictive. What really pulls it together is the dressing: extra-virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, raw honey, cumin, and a touch of turmeric whisked into something bright and warmly spiced. Letting the red onion sit in the dressing for ten minutes before adding the rest of the ingredients is a small step that makes a big difference, softening that sharp bite into something mellow and almost sweet. Every ingredient here is whole and unprocessed, so there's no need to scan labels or swap anything out — it just works as written. A handful of dry-roasted pistachios scattered over the top adds a satisfying crunch if you want a little extra texture. Serve it immediately so the herbs stay fresh and the peaches hold their shape.
