Farmer’s Market Salad

Serves 4-6 as a side dish

 

This super simple salad is inspired by the stone fruit that we begin to see at Farmers’ Markets, but is completely customizable depending on your preferences and what you find at the market. The combination of sweet fruit and salty feta works with nearly all fruits, so get creative and enjoy!

 

Ingredients

 

For the Salad:

-4-6 cups organic arugula or other mixed greens

-2-3 peaches or nectarines (or try plums or cherries!)

-3-4 ounces feta, crumbled

-1/4 cup slivered almonds

 

For the Dressing:

-1 part vinegar (your choice; balsamic, apple cider, red wine, etc) or other acid (lemon juice, fresh

orange juice, lime juice, etc)

-3 parts olive oil

-Salt & Pepper to taste

-Fresh herbs to taste (optional)

 

Directions:

Whisk or shake all ingredients together for your vinaigrette.

Lightly toast the slivered almonds in a pan and set aside.

Toss your greens with your dressing then top with sliced peaches or nectarines.

Sprinkle feta and toasted almonds on top.

Serve alongside your favorite grilled protein and a healthy whole grain or crusty bread if you prefer.

 

Enjoy this healthy taste of summer days ahead!
