Democracy Dies in Darkness
In this no-cook summery side, tomatoes bridge sweet and savory flavors when they join peaches, blueberries, red onion and basil, and are accented by a lively vinaigrette. The dish is an ideal accompaniment to barbecue-sauce-slathered proteins, because it echoes those sweet and savory notes while offering cooling, fresh and juicy contrast.
Make ahead: The salad can be assembled and kept covered, at room temperature, for up to 1 hour before serving.
Storage: The salad is best shortly after it’s made; it does not refrigerate well.
