Some favorite summer sweets, ready to enjoy (from market bag to mouth). While the heirloom tomatoes (top) are sweet enough to eat alone, they are even more delicious with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, basil, and salt and pepper. Yum.
Recipe: Couscous with Peach and Mint
At a friend of a friend’s barbecue birthday party recently, I filled my plate twice with a couscous dish made with peaches and mint. With peaches in season, I knew right away that I’d be making my own version at home soon. I wasn’t sure how the dish was dressed, so I went with a sweet and tangy lemon and honey vinaigrette.
Couscous with Peach and Mint
1 box couscous
2 diced peaches
3 sprigs of fresh mint, roughly chopped
For the vinaigrette:
1 tbs. fresh lemon juice
2 tbs. olive oil
1 tbs. honey
Pinch of salt
Cracked black pepper to taste.
Simply make couscous and let cool before adding peaches, mint, and dressing. Chill before serving. Yum.
