Tomato and Peach Salad with Mint
As I mentioned before, I’ve been obsessed with tomatoes this summer. We’re getting a few pounds of them every week in our CSA box which has been AWESOME. I saw this recipe and thought it would be a fun way to use some of them up.
This salad is like a fun sweetened up, dairy free version of a caprese salad. The mint and balsalmic really compliment the flavors of the tomatoes and peaches.

These are such an elegant treat especially for guests. I like using a cream cheese filling for them!
Yep, that’s how I’ve always seen it, with cream cheese filling. It’s definitely a great way to use up leftover frosting though. I’m sure any cream-cheese based frosting would be delicious.
I love the idea of an inside-out chocolate covered strawberry! I will definitely be trying this!
So pretty. I wonder if nutella would work too.

These are so great! I love the idea (and the party theme is inspired). I posted a link for my edible crafts column to your blog at ediblecrafts.craftgossip.com. Hope to bring you a few more clicks! Thanks for sharing, Meaghan
Love it! I’m impressed by those that can keep “leftover” frosting around the kitchen – it’s usually eaten up by my housemates before any can be put away.
