Ingredients
✓ 4 ripe peaches, sliced
✓ 1 cup of arugula
✓ 1/2 cup of feta cheese, crumbled
✓ 1/4 cup of walnuts, chopped
✓ 2 tablespoons of honey
✓ 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar
✓ Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
✓ Wash 4 ripe peaches thoroughly under cold running water. Slice each peach into thin slices.
✓ Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread 1/4 cup of walnuts on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven for about 6-8 minutes or until golden brown and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
✓ In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of honey and 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar. Add a pinch of salt and pepper for extra flavor. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
✓ In a large salad bowl, gently mix 1 cup of arugula with the crumbled feta cheese until well combined.
✓ Arrange the sliced peaches over the arugula-feta mixture in an appealing pattern. Overlap slices slightly for a more visually pleasing look.
✓ Drizzle the honey-balsamic dressing evenly over the salad, ensuring each piece of fruit and leaf of arugula is coated. Gently toss to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
✓ Sprinkle the cooled toasted walnuts over the top of the salad just before serving.
Notes
Be gentle when combining ingredients, especially the arugula. Toasting the walnuts enhances their flavor and prevents them from becoming bitter during storage.
