Yeast Free Mediterranean Tomato, Peach & Cucumber Salad

Sweet summer peaches and juicy cherry tomatoes might sound like an unexpected pairing, but together they create something genuinely special — bright, refreshing, and layered with flavor. Buttery Castelvetrano olives, crisp cucumber, and a shower of fresh mint and basil round things out in the most Mediterranean way possible. The dressing is where this salad really sings: a quick whisk of lemon juice, olive oil, honey, cumin, and turmeric gives it warmth and a subtle earthiness that ties every ingredient together. Letting the red onion sit in the dressing for ten minutes is a small but brilliant step — it softens the sharpness and infuses the whole bowl before a single vegetable is added. Everything here is naturally free of fermented or leavened ingredients, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or swap anything out. A handful of dry-roasted pistachios on top adds a satisfying crunch if you want it, though the salad holds its own without them. This is the kind of dish you'll want to bring to every warm-weather table.
