Salad with Peach Dressing

I love summer salads to pack in lunches, and take on the go...This one has peach dressing for the mix-in, and beautiful color for the salad!

Dressing:

3 T red wine vinegar
1 T chopped fresh thyme
1 tsp sugar
1 ripe peach, peeled and finely chopped
6 T extra virgin olive oil

Combine first four ingredients in a bowl with a whisk, let stand 15 minutes, stirring some.  Add oil slowly and blend.

Salad:

1 cup of the peach dressing
1 med english cucumber
2 lb multicolored heirloom tomatoes sliced and quartered into 1/3 in pieces
3/4 cup thinly vertically sliced red onion
1/2 cup small basil leaves divided
1 tsp kosher salt divided
3/8 tsp fresh ground pepper

place dressing in a large bowl.  peel cucumber in stripes, halve lengthwise, remove seeds and slice diagonally.  add cucumber, tomatoes, onion, 1/4 cup basil, 1/2 tsp salt, and pepper to the dressing, toss, and let stand 3 minutes.  arrange salad on a platter and sprinkle basil, and salt over top.

Isn't it pretty?
