Peach and Heirloom Tomato Salad

This light salad is easy to prepare and makes a delightfully fresh starter. Sweet peaches pair perfectly with the acidic profile of tomatoes. Fresh basil adds the herbaceous notes and soft goat cheese brings a mellow counterpoint. A honey balsamic dressing brings it all together.
