The best peach salad

The key to the best peach salad recipe is simple: grilled peaches. Grilling peaches brings out their natural sweetness. Their candy sweet flavor pairs perfectly with bitter arugula, creamy goat cheese, and hearty farro. This salad eats more like a healthy bowl, full of texture and crunch. A simple homemade vinaigrette ties it all together.

Like our Strawberry Salad with Champagne Vinaigrette this summer salad recipe makes a great meal or a simple side dish for Grilled Steak or Grilled Chicken Skewers.

Ingredients

  • ARUGULA: (we like pre packaged bags arugula or fresh arugula from the farmer's market)
  • SPRING MIX: mixed greens (pre packaged salad)

  • PEACHES: ripe peaches (grilling fresh peaches to brings out the flavor)
  • RADISHES: sliced radishes for color and texture
  • ALMONDS: sliced almonds or chopped almonds
  • GOAT CHEESE: we like to use crumbled goat cheese to save time
  • LEMON: juice from lemon
  • HONEY: honey adds a touch of sweetness. Use local honey if possible
  • RICE VINEGAR: for the dressing
  • GARLIC: garlic cloves, chopped (for the dressing)

Substitutions and Variations

  • ALL ARUGULA: do you LOVE arugula (like we do)? Forgo the spring mix. The bitter bite of arugula tastes great with the sweet peaches.
  • MORE FRUIT: top this salad with handfuls of blueberries or raspberries to add more complex flavor
  • CHEESE SWAP: no goat cheese? Try feta cheese or blue cheese
  • ADD PROTEIN: slices of marinated grilled chicken is the perfect addition
  • NUTS: substitute walnuts, pecans or pine nuts for almonds.

Top tip

For extra flavor, toast the almonds before adding them to the salad.

Storage

  • Store peach salad (without dressing) in airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Store dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Shake before using
  • Once salad is dressed it cannot be stored for long, as the ingredients become soggy

FAQ

Can I store-bought dressing?

Yes. But we really like the homemade vinaigrette because it is made with fresh ingredients. If you want to use store-bought dressing, we recommend something sweet like a raspberry vinaigrette, balsamic vinaigrette, or poppy seed dressing.

How do I keep the peaches from turning brown?

Cut and grill the peaches right before you are ready to serve the salad. If you need to cut them sooner, toss them in lemon juice to keep them from browning.

Can I make peach salad ahead?

Yes. Cook the farrow and toast the almonds the night before. All of the other ingredients can be assembled rather quickly.
