Tomato-Peach Salad with Tofu Cream

This vibrant tomato and peach salad offers a sophisticated blend of seasonal flavours and textures. Sweet, sun-ripened heirloom tomatoes and juicy peaches are tossed with fresh tarragon and chervil, creating a refreshing base that celebrates the height of summer produce. The addition of fresh corn provides a subtle crunch, while a sharp sherry vinegar dressing ties the elements together beautifully.

As a modern vegan dish, this recipe replaces traditional dairy with a luxurious silken tofu cream, providing a velvet-smooth contrast to the crisp salad. It makes for an elegant light lunch or a colourful starter for a garden party. Serve it on a large platter with thick strips of toasted country-style bread to scoop up the savoury dressing and creamy base.
