- Red Onion: ¼ cup thinly sliced
- Fresh Basil: ¼ cup torn or chopped
For the Balsamic Glaze:
- Balsamic Vinegar: ½ cup
- Maple Syrup: 1 tbsp or more, to taste

Prepare the Balsamic Glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar and maple syrup.

Dress the Salad: Drizzle the cooled balsamic glaze over the tomatoes and peaches. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve: Toss gently to combine right before serving or let guests drizzle additional glaze as per their preference. Serve immediately to enjoy the freshness of the ingredients.
- Variations: Add crumbled vegan feta or toasted pine nuts for an added texture and richness.
- Serving Suggestions: This salad makes a refreshing side dish for grilled vegan dishes or a light standalone meal with crusty bread.
