Directions
Peach and Tomato Salad,From the *Tomato Cookbook* of the Australian Womens Weekly cookbook series comes this salad full of flavor, texture & color. While the recipe uses fresh peaches & that would clearly be best when in season, IMO it still works well w/canned peaches because it is just plain good either way. It can also be expanded by adding shrimp or chicken. You just really cannot go wrong w/this recipe. *Enjoy* !,This was an interesting salad. I loved all the veggies, however next time I make the salad I will skip the pita bread – as we found it got soggy and we landed up going around it. But the combination of veggies and fruit was very yummy, nice dressing.
