August is peach month so we created a summer salad with peaches, arugula, walnuts and a honey butter drizzle. It’s delicious and deceptively healthy! Shave fresh peaches on a mandolin so they are as light and delicate as leafy greens, and pepper the mixture with a creamy, salty punch of goat cheese.
Adding fresh seasonal ingredients is a fun way to brighten up your standard salad! Serve this savory summer salad at a barbecue or afternoon tea. You can even make it in advance for a healthy lunch at the office.
