This is one of my favorite, most refreshing summer salads. The sweetness of ripe peaches, the peppery bite of arugula, and the bright citrus dressing make a heavenly combination.
Serves 2
Ingredients
4 cups arugula
2 ripe organic peaches, sliced
1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/3 cup toasted pecans
Optional: 1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese or feta
Dressing
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1/4 teaspoon salt
Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Whisk together the dressing ingredients. Toss with the arugula, peaches, red onion, pecans, and optional cheese.
Enjoy!
