- 4 cups mixed greens (spinach and arugula)
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
Nuts:
- 1/2 cup pecans or walnuts, toasted
Dressing:
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Meticulously rinse ripe peaches under cool water, carefully slice into elegant wedges, and delicately extract the central pit.
- Select a spacious mixing vessel and layer crisp mixed greens as the foundational base of the salad.
- Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese across the green landscape, creating a creamy, tangy dimension.
- Tenderly arrange peach wedges atop the greens, maintaining their structural integrity and vibrant appearance.
- Scatter toasted nuts over the salad, ensuring gentle placement to preserve their delicate crunch.
- Craft a harmonious vinaigrette by vigorously whisking honey (or maple syrup), balsamic vinegar, and olive oil until seamlessly integrated.
- Moments before serving, cascade the dressing over the salad, using a light touch to distribute the liquid without overwhelming the delicate ingredients.
- Execute a gentle tossing motion to ensure each component receives a light, even coating of the dressing, maximizing flavor distribution.
Notes
- Select ripe, slightly soft peaches for the best flavor and sweetness in your salad.
- Toast nuts briefly in a dry skillet to enhance their nutty aroma and add a delightful crunch to the dish.
- Prepare the dressing separately and add just before serving to prevent the greens from becoming soggy.
- Substitute feta with goat cheese or vegan cheese alternatives for dietary preferences or restrictions.
