Fig, Peach & Arugula Salad with Lemon Honey Vinaigrette
I’ve been such a slacker with recipe posts over the last few days. I’m right in the middle of a huge site redesign right now, and apparently I’ve been putting all of my attention and energy towards that. It is way harder than I ever thought, and I have no idea why I thought I could do it all by myself, but I know that I’ll feel so dang accomplished when all of this is finished. I can’t wait for you guys to see the new site!
I’ve been living on super easy meals like this salad lately. I just make sure to keep the fridge stocked with fruits and veggies so that I’m able to throw together a salad or stir-fry in a flash. I am loving figs right now, and they are only going to be in season for a little while longer, so I’m eating as many as I can. And we all know how obsessed I am with peaches, so why not use them together in a salad.
And this vinaigrette, I could drink it.
Gross. Please still be my friend.
It has lemon, honey and just the right amount of red wine vinegar. It is sour, sweet, tart, and does some amazing things for this already delicious salad. Throw some walnuts and goat cheese on there and you’re SET.
Ingredients
- 1 large peach, cut into thin wedges
- 4 fresh figs, quartered
- 4 cups arugula
- 1/4 cup goat cheese, crumbled
- 1/4-1/3 cup walnuts
- juice of 1 lemon
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- small pinch of salt and pepper
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together all of the vinaigrette ingredients and set aside.
- To assemble the salad, divide the arugula between two bowls, then layer on the peaches and figs onto each salad.
