Fresh Peach Arugula Salad
There is something so satisfying about a salad that feels bright, fresh, and just a little bit special. This fresh peach arugula salad with honey lemon vinaigrette brings together juicy peaches, peppery greens, and a light dressing that tastes like summer in a bowl.
Equipment
- 1 Large serving bowl
- 1 Small bowl or jar for dressing
Ingredients
Salad
- 4 cups arugula fresh
- 2 peaches ripe, sliced
- 0.25 medium red onion thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup feta cheese crumbled
- 0.25 cup almonds or walnuts toasted
Honey Lemon Vinaigrette
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1.5 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.125 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Wash and dry the arugula well so the dressing clings nicely. Slice the peaches and red onion into thin pieces, then set everything aside.
- In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well blended.
- Add the arugula to a large serving bowl. Top with the sliced peaches, red onion, feta, and toasted nuts.
- Drizzle the honey lemon vinaigrette over the salad just before serving. Toss gently so the greens stay light and crisp, then serve right away.
