Peppery arugula and tart goat cheese go beautifully with sweet peaches. The combo is a true winner – especially topped with some chopped salted nuts.

Ingredients

Peach

3 medium, ripe but not mushy

Olive oil

1 tbsp(s), extra virgin

Red wine vinegar

1 tbsp(s)

Table salt

¼ tsp(s)

Black pepper

¼ pinch(es), freshly ground (plus extra for garnish - optional)

Arugula

6 cup(s), baby variety

Red onion

½ small, thinly sliced

Semisoft goat cheese

¼ cup(s), crumbled

Shelled salted dry-roasted pistachio nuts

¼ cup(s), coarsely chopped

Instructions

  1. Peel and pit one peach; cut it into chunks. Cut remaining peaches into thin slices or wedges; set aside.
  2. Put peach chunks, oil, vinegar, salt and pepper in a blender; blend until smooth and set aside.
  3. Place arugula, onion and peach slices in a large serving bowl; drizzle with dressing and gently toss to coat. Sprinkle with cheese and nuts; grind some extra black pepper over top, if desired. Yields about 2 cups salad mixture and 1 tablespoon each cheese and nuts per serving.

Notes

Use mango when peaches are not in season.
