Pecan 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 into something that feels both refreshing and a little unexpected. The Castelvetrano olives bring a buttery, briny depth that ties the whole bowl together, while torn mint and basil keep every bite bright and aromatic. What really makes it sing is the dressing — a whisked blend of olive oil, lemon, honey, cumin, and turmeric that's warm and citrusy all at once. 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, mellowing its sharpness so it plays nicely with the fruit. The whole thing comes together without any tree nut concerns baked into the base recipe — the optional pistachios on top are easy to skip entirely if you need to keep things completely safe. It's the kind of salad that looks stunning on a platter and disappears fast, whether you're serving it at a backyard gathering or alongside grilled fish on a weeknight.
