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.

That looks so yummy! Can you suggest a good substitute for the cream cheese? I can’t eat dairy….. Also, can I use honey/agave in place of the sugar & corn syrup? Thanks!

Have you tried the Tofutti “Better than Cream Cheese”? I am lactose intolerant and use that in place of cream cheese. I think the cream cheese is there to enhance the smooth texture of the ice cream. You could just leave it out if you wanted. The corn syrup is there to help it not freeze too hard. Again, you could omit it if you wanted or replace with honey. Let me know how it turns out for you with the substitutions.
I really need an ice cream maker….

i’ve done a pistachio ice cream awhile back and it was most definitely amazing. never was into the bright green stuff as a kid, either 🙂
