• 1 teaspoon sugar

• ½ teaspoon grated or very finely chopped fresh ginger

• 2 medium tomatoes (about
  ½ pound/225 g total), cored and cut into wedges

• 2 medium peaches or nectarines (about ½ pound/
  225 g total), cut into wedges (peel the peaches only if the skin seems super fuzzy)

DIRECTIONS

About ½ cup (15 g) lightly packed roughly chopped fresh herbs, such as cilantro, basil, and/or mint 

In a small bowl, whisk together the fish sauce, lime juice, chile, shallot, sugar, and ginger. Let the dressing sit for at least 20 minutes, or up to 1 day (in the fridge if longer than
2 hours), to let the flavors develop. 

Arrange the tomatoes and peaches on a platter or in a shallow bowl and drizzle the dressing all over. Top with the chopped herbs and serve right away.
