Amazing Recipe from the Wall Street Journal

We actually had been to a Farmer's Market and had all of the stuff so I made this last night.  It was terrific:

Tomato & Peach Salad With Feta
Total Time: 15 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients

2 slices white bread (crusts removed), cut or torn into 1-inch pieces

½ cup plus 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Salt, to taste

2 ears fresh corn, shucked

4 ripe heirloom tomatoes, a variety of colors (about 2 pounds)

4 large ripe peaches (1½-2 pounds)

½ cup thinly sliced red onion or shallot

¾ cup sheep's milk feta, crumbled
What To Do

1. If serving salad with warm breadcrumbs, pulse bread in food processor until it breaks down into large, coarse crumbs. In a medium skillet set over medium heat, warm ½ cup oil. Once warm, add breadcrumbs and gently toast until golden and crisp, about 3 minutes. Transfer crumbs to paper-towel-lined plate and season with salt.

2. Meanwhile, using a sharp knife, slice corn kernels off the cob.

3. Core tomatoes and pit peaches. Slice both into like-size wedges. Place in large bowl with onion slivers and corn kernels. Season with salt.

4. Add 6 tablespoons oil. Toss to combine.

5. Distribute salad among four plates. Crumble feta over each serving. Drizzle some dressing left in bottom of bowl over each plate. Scatter breadcrumbs overtop and serve
