A lovely summer salad using baby new potatoes, ripe peaches and fragrant fresh basil. Taste great with your barbeque meat or fish. The sugar snaps and tomatoes is from my own garden, I love when I can use my homegrown veggies.
Notes;
- You can use nectarines instead of peaches
- If you use a mixer for the dressing make sure you keep the dressing a little coarse
- Mix the potatoes with roasted sweet potatoes
