Tomato and Peach Salad With Whipped Goat Cheese

Sweet ripe peaches and tomatoes team up with creamy whipped goat cheese in this bright colourful summer salad tossed with a simple vinaigrette. It's sweet and savoury, creamy and fruity, works great as a starter, a side or a light summer meal. If you want to make it more filling, add some beans, lentils or crunchy garlic croutons.

2 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
1 tbsp Sherry vinegar
1 tbsp Whole-grain Dijon mustard
2 tsp Lime juice
Sea salt and black pepper
1/2 Small red onion, very thinly sliced
150 g Chavroux mild soft goat cheese
2 tbsp Heavy cream
1/2 tsp Lime zest
Roma tomatoes, cut into wedges
2 Ripe firm peaches, halved, pitted and cut into wedges
1 Handful of basil, chopped

In a large bowl, whisk the olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard and lime juice. Season generously with salt and pepper, stir in the red onion and set aside.
Whip goat cheese in a mixing bowl until creamy. Add the heavy cream and lime zest and whip just until fluffy, about 1 minute, scraping the bowl as needed. Season to taste with salt.
Spread the whipped goat cheese on a large serving platter or in shallow bowl, distributing it evenly using the back of a spoon. Add the tomato wedges, peach wedges and chopped basil to the dressing and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Place on top of the whipped goat cheese and serve immediately.
