With autumn quickly arriving, I had to post this delicious and stunning recipe for Arugula, Peach and Piquillo Pepper Salad with Goat Cheese. Sliced peaches, strips of ruby red piquillo peppers, diced red onion, crumbled goat cheese all tossed with peppery arugula and creamy balsamic dressing. This beautiful salad shows that things that grow together go together. I found this dead simple recipe from forageddish.com. Go buy some peaches!
Arugula, Peach and Piquillo Pepper Salad with Goat Cheese
Serves 4
Ingredients:
1 pound baby arugula
2 ripe peaches, sliced thin
1/2 cup roasted piquillo peppers, diced (I like strips better. I buy Roland brand piquillo peppers that are sold in cans.)
1/3 cup soft goat cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
Creamy Balsamic Dressing (I use Briannas brand Creamy Balsamic Dressing.)
Directions:
In a large salad bowl, combine arugula, sliced peaches, peppers, and onion. Sprinkle goat cheese over top.
Just before serving, drizzle with balsamic dressing to taste.
Yum!
*Tips: Use a melon baller to remove the discolored area around the pit of the peaches, for aesthetics! If you haven't tried piquillo peppers before, they are not hot, more fruity. Don't be afraid!
