Peach_Pear_Salad
Enjoy a refreshing burst of flavors that brings the essence of summer right to your table!
Begin by rinsing the peach and pear under cool water. Cut both into slices and place them in a large salad bowl.
Next, add 4 cups of arugula to the bowl with the peach and pear slices.
In a pan, toast 1/2 cup of walnuts over medium heat for about 5 minutes until they are golden brown and fragrant. Stir occasionally to avoid burning.
Once toasted, let the walnuts cool slightly and then add them to the salad bowl.
Sprinkle 1/2 cup of crumbled feta cheese over the top of the salad.
For the dressing, whisk together 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together to combine and coat with the dressing.
Serve immediately for the freshest taste, or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes before serving if you prefer it chilled.
