Arugula and Peach Salad (SERVES 8 | 30 MINUTES OR LESS)
This salad is all about the tangy dressing. For best taste, choose the brightest, ripest stone fruits you can find. Feel free to substitute other fresh-looking salad greens for the arugula.
10 cups arugula
4 peaches, pitted and sliced into thin wedges
2 green bell peppers, finely chopped (2 cups)
2⁄3 cup slivered almonds
2 Tbs. olive oil
2 Tbs. white balsamic vinegar
1 Tbs. fresh orange juice
½ tsp. grated orange zest
¼ tsp. salt
1⁄8 tsp. cayenne pepper
Combine arugula, peaches, bell peppers, and almonds in large bowl. Whisk together oil, vinegar, orange juice, orange zest, salt, and cayenne in separate bowl. Just before serving, toss salad with dressing.
