Peach & Arugula Salad with White Balsamic

A slightly different take on the classic peach arugula combo — this one leans sweet and herby with mint, basil, and a maple Dijon vinaigrette.

Ingredients

• 4 cups arugula

• 2 peaches, sliced

• 1 avocado, sliced

• 1 cup chickpeas, drained and rinsed

• 1/4 cup toasted pistachios

• Fresh mint, torn

• Fresh basil, torn

Maple Dijon Vinaigrette

• 3 tbsp olive oil

• 1 tbsp white balsamic vinegar

• 1 tsp maple syrup

• 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard

• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Whisk together olive oil, white balsamic, maple syrup, Dijon, salt, and pepper.

2. Arrange arugula on a platter and top with sliced peaches, avocado, and chickpeas.

3. Scatter toasted pistachios, mint, and basil over the top.

4. Drizzle with the vinaigrette just before serving.

A little sweet, a little tangy, and a whole lot of fresh herbs — this salad is a great one to bring to a summer dinner party.
