Ingredients
8–10 cups spring mix salad or arugula
2 ripe peaches, sliced
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
2 ounces blue cheese crumbled
1/3 cup toasted pecans roughly chopped
Honey Vinaigrette
3/4 to 1 cup olive oil, extra-virgin olive oil, or any good-tasting oil
1/4 cup good-tasting vinegar or lemon juice
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Place the mixed salad greens or peppery arugula onto large platter or into a big bowl. Then add the fresh peaches, and red onions on top of the greens. Sprinkle with chopped pecans and the blue cheese crumbles. Drizzle with the homemade vinaigrette or set on the side to dress your own individual salad.
Place all vinaigrette ingredients except the olive oil into a mason jar or small bowl. If using a jar, shake until combined. If using a bowl, whisk in the olive oil in a slow steady stream until the dressing comes together. Taste and adjust salt or honey. In a small skillet over medium-low heat, toast the pecans for 2-3 minutes stirring until fragrant — watch them, they go fast. Spread on a plate to cool before adding to the top of the salad. Store leftover dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
