For the nahm jim, combine all ingredients in a food processor and whiz until finely chopped. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. The dressing should be quite spicy and sharp to balance the sweetness of the peaches.
2.

To assemble salad, arrange the tomato and peach on a large platter. Scatter over the sliced eschalot and toasted peanut then drizzle with nahm jim. Scatter over Thai basil leaves to serve.
