This Sunny Peach & Tomato Lettuce Salad is a vibrant celebration of late summer produce, perfect for warm New York afternoons. Juicy peaches and ripe tomatoes create a sweet-savory balance, while crisp lettuce provides a refreshing base. A simple vinaigrette, brightened with a touch of honey and fresh basil, ties everything together. Toasted sliced almonds add a delightful crunch (and can be omitted if you prefer nut-free). This salad is not only dairy free, but also visually stunning, perfect for a light lunch or a colorful side.
