Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Red leaf lettuce
- 2 large Ripe peaches
- 4 oz Fresh chevre (goat cheese)
- 0.25 cup Slivered almonds
- 3 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.125 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
1. Rinse the red leaf lettuce thoroughly under cold water, pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner. Tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and set aside in a large salad bowl.
2. Wash the peaches and slice them into thin wedges, removing the pits. Add the peach slices to the bowl of lettuce.
3. Crumble the fresh chevre into small pieces and scatter over the salad.
4. In a small dry skillet, toast the slivered almonds over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool slightly, then sprinkle over the salad.
5. In a small bowl, make the honey vinaigrette by whisking together the olive oil, honey, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
6. Just before serving, drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh summer-inspired salad!
