I adore peaches and I also have a ton of lovely chocolate mint growing in my yard. Now I know what to do with some of it anyway! This is such a beautiful salad!

A very refreshing salad for this crazy heat we are suffering through in Ontario. Thanks for this entry Ricki. A very refreshing salad for this crazy heat we are suffering through in Ontario.

I love fruit and veggie combinations in salads, and your use of mint to bring them all together - brilliant! (and, since it's the height of peach season here down south, your recipe also made my day because I'll be able to try it with some nice ripe peaches immediately!) When I was in college (the first time around) I used to eat baked sweet potatoes with peanut butter... All of my apartment-mates thought it was bizarre, but I thought it was a perfectly scrumptious way to add a bit of protein to my sweet potato lunch! Your salad combination sounds heavenly!

I'd love to learn more about the Vietnamese recipes, too! :) Johanna, The tomato/pepper combo sounds great with peach, too (what colors!). And really, I don't think there's much chance the mint will go before we run out of ideas. Tabbouleh's been on my list for a while--just haven't gotten around to it yet! Aly, I don't think BBQ sauce/mustard is weird at all! (Isn't that what people put on burgers?). Well, works for me ;) CCV, A peach-lover! I had no idea ;). Glad you like the salad! Courtney, The beauty of the salad is that this actually renders some sub-par peaches a little juicier, since they soak up the dressing! I even liked this one the next day. Shelly, Aw, thanks! It's very fresh and summery if make it on a hot day. catherine, I love your food combo-literally! That's one thing my ex-hubby taught me that's still in my life: pancakes and PB. I often have a pancake-PB "sandwich" the day after we've had pancakes for breakfast--you can even take it along like a regular sammie! ;) Jennifer, Thanks so much! It's really a lovely combo--let me know how you like it if you do give it a try! Tinker, Sorry to hear about your plant! My basil plant is also gone due to some blight, but I have no idea what to do to prevent it or fix it! No, you're not offending me or the blog--DDD welcomes any and all friendly folks (well, maybe not Julia Roberts). My HH is a big meat eater and enjoys something similar to you--smoked salmon or sliced turkey on a "Muesli" bagel--that is, one with raisins and sunflower seeds--looks yucky to me, but he just loves it. Giz, Sadly, The Girls didn't get to try this one. And of course, they couldn't appreciate the brilliant color combination since they're color blind. . .so no comments on this one ;) Holler, The cheese and beet combo sounds intriguing to me! And PB and nutella? Heaven!! Mihl, Thanks so much! And please send your parents my condolences ;) magpie,

I love your colourful salad creation. And I hear you on "mint is taking over my garden". My parents have the same problem with water-mint. Mint and peach indeed sounds yum!

But as I read your descriptions of the flavours, I thought, yeah this would actually be really good. And it is such a pretty salad! Thank you for entering it into No Croutons Required. Combinations I like are peanut butter & nutella, strawberries & rhubarb and cheddar cheese & beetroot Well it is a combination I would never have though of.

Does it look interesting - absolutely. Would I try it? - maybe by tomorrow. What I really want to know is what the dogs had to say about it.
