This is perfect on a hot summer day. I added a cucumber to help it go further at a party.  Yahoo, there was none left :)

Excellent, light salad using the items I keep on hand. Used one peach and one nectarine. Did not have heirloom tomatoes, so I used our local, seasonal tomatoes. Also, used red wine vinegar in place of sherry vinegar. This great summer salad would go with just about anything coming off the grill.

I made this last weekend for guests who raved and raved. We all thought it was fantastic. I'm making it again this weekend for different guests. Very refreshing.

Easy and wonderful when produce is so fresh! Very colorful dish; don't make too far in advance tomatoes get watery, although my peaches didn't turn even the next day. I substituted red wine vinegar for the sherry vinegar and it was fine; dressing very light. Wonderful mix of flavors!

I love this salad! It's so fresh and full of flavor! Sweet and tart. Optimum flavor after a little refrigeration (I think). I also love the low calorie and fat count for a very filling serving size.

Love this recipe. I make it using whatever tomatoes I have on hand as often as I can during the summer.

I love this recipe and make it often. Has great flavor, and is simple. As a bonus, it has ingredients that I typically have on hand anyway, except the sherry vinegar. I don't have sherry vinegar, so have just been using balsamic, and it seems to work just fine.

This would get six stars if I could. I spent all of dinner smiling. And even my kids liked it. The key here is to follow the recipe exactly. There are not many ingredients, but you need the right proportions of tomatoes, basil, red onion. The dressing was not at all too sweet (I wonder if other reviewers misread teaspoon for tablespoon, because it is only 1 teaspoon of honey in the dressing). I did improvise on the heirloom tomatoes, I had two kinds of full-sized tomatoes and no cherry/pear tomatoes, but that didn't matter. Yum, yum, yum. Perfect for summer when the fruit and tomatoes are ripe and fantastic. I actually paired this with a simple summer omlette for dinner, so don't worry about finding a pork roast or anything.
