Have you noticed more and more restaurants are including fruit in their salads? Of course, tomatoes are really a fruit, but peaches, blueberries and strawberries are making their way into more salads than ever before. Love this combination of tomatoes and peaches, both available in abundance right now. Peel your tomatoes and peaches or not, up to you.
