Directions

1. Make the vinaigrette: In a jar or bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, honey, shallot, garlic, lemon zest, herbs, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning.
   
   

2. Toss the fruit: In a large bowl, combine tomatoes, peaches, and cherries. Pour in about one-third of the vinaigrette and toss gently. Let sit 15 minutes at room temperature (or up to 4 hours refrigerated) to marinate.
