  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, more for drizzling

  • 1 1/2 oz Peach Tomatillo and Purple Basil shrub (or shrub flavor of your choice)

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard

  • ½ cup sliced red onion

  • Kernels from 2 ears of fresh corn

  • 10 small or 5 medium tomatoes, sliced into wedges

  • 16 cherry tomatoes, sliced in half

  • 3 peaches, pitted and sliced

  • 4 to 5 cups cubed crusty bread

  • 1 cup chopped fresh basil

  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 cup roasted chickpeas optional

In the bottom of a large bowl, combine the olive oil, shrub, garlic, mustard, ½ teaspoon of salt, and a few grinds of pepper. Add the onion, and corn and toss until coated. Let sit for 10 minutes while you prep everything else. To the bowl, add the tomatoes, peaches, bread, and half the basil. Toss to combine, adding more olive oil if the bread is too dry, and more shrub, salt, and pepper, to taste. Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes so that the juices can soak into the bread. Give it a toss, then top with the remaining fresh basil and the chickpeas, if using.
