(2018) Minty Blueberry Peach Shiver

And because I love old-fashioned food around the Fourth of July, this congealed blueberry-peach salad recipe from Whole Foods.

Their note: “Fresh with juicy summer fruit and cooling mint, this juice-based gelatin fruit salad is a delicious throwback to childhood. Make it ahead for backyard barbeques, and feel free to substitute grapes or nectarines for the peaches and blueberries. (Note: Using vegan gelatin, the finished dessert will be less firm than with traditional gelatin.)”

We picked up a bunch of peaches that are just ready to enjoy, so this is on the menu for tomorrow.

Tomato and Peach Salad

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.
