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!

Fig, Peach and Arugula Salad with Lemon Honey Vinaigrette

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.
