PEACH VINAIGRETTE SALAD

Don’t waste your over-ripe peaches! This vinaigrette is so simple and provides a perfect solution to peaches a bit past their peak, although perfect peaches are great, too. You can use white or yellow peaches – both lend a different flavor. This is our new summertime favorite that is impressive enough for company.

INGREDIENTS

  • VINAIGRETTE
    • 1 peach
    • 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
    • 2 tsp. Bragg’s apple cider vinegar
    • 1/2 tsp. Pink Himalayan salt
    • 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper, optional
    • Can use liquid stevia drops, if sweeter taste is desired
  • SALAD
    • 2 cups organic greens and diced/sliced red onion
    • 2/3 diced peach*
    • 2 Tbsp. sliced/slivered almonds (toasted is delicious)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Cut the peach in half to remove the pit, then dice (leaving the skin on) and place into a blender or small food processor. Immersion blender’s work great for this recipe.
  2. Add the other ingredients and blend until smooth.
  3. Assemble the salad and drizzle 3-4 Tbsp of the vinaigrette over the top.

* To avoid waste, add the other 1/3 of the peach to your vinaigrette, along with another Tbsp of olive oil, 1/2 tsp. vinegar, and 1/8 tsp. salt.

VARIATIONS:

  • Basil-peach vinaigrette: Add 1 Tbsp chopped fresh basil or   1 tsp dried basil to the blender.
  • Ginger-peach vinaigrette: Add 1 Tbsp fresh ginger to the blender.
  • Jalapeno-peach vinaigrette: Eliminate the cayenne pepper and add one fresh jalapeno, stem removed. For decreased heat, remove the seeds before blending.
