Tomatoes are all the rage at this time of year so it felt fitting to make a Tomato Peach Corn and Panzanella Salad!

Tomato season is HERE. I just came from my mothers place where her garden is overflowing with the ginormous glorious beauties. My mom has plans for her toms including salsa, tomato sauce and tomato butter. There are so many tomatoes that she’s literally giving them away by the bucket. WHY I only took 5 is beyond me. I only have two left and I’m panicking a little.
I’ve had fun creating recipes with the abundance but I was SUPER excited for this one. I created a tomato and crouton salad last year but it wasn’t quite a panzanella. THIS one is extra special as it embraces some of my favourite fruits and veggies that make a grand entrance in August. Tomatoes, peaches and corn. Yippee!

Place bread into a bowl, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with EBTB spice.

TOMATO SALAD INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 400. Press tofu to release water and cut into cubes. Drizzle tofu with 1 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt and pepper. Place in a preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Cut tomato end place in a strainer to drain off any excess water. Slice peach and put in strainer also. Bring a small pot of water to a boil, shuck corn and break in half. Cook corn with lid on for 3 minutes, drain and set aside to cool. Once cool enough to handle cut kernels off the cob.
Place kale into a serving bowl and drizzle with a tsp of oil sprinkle with sea salt. Massage kale until it starts to soften.
In a separate bowl add croutons, tomato, peach, tofu and corn. Season with salt and pepper to taste and mix gently.
Pour mixture over the kale and add avocado on top. Spoon basil dressing on top of salad and sprinkle with chili flakes and Maldon salt.
I let the salad sit for 1 hour before serving but eating immediately works also!
