When I first started this blog, I was living in Old City and working in Center City Philadelphia, which meant I got to stop at Reading Terminal on my way home and get inspiration for my meals based on what looked the best that day. I stopped by the Historic Lewes Farmers Market recently looking for some inspiration while at the Delaware Beaches. While I was there, I was able to catch a demonstration by SoDel Concepts’ Pastry Chef Dru Tevis and Bennett Orchards’ Henry Bennett. I picked up some White Peaches from Bennett Orchards while I was there, which inspired me to make this perfectly summery White Peach Strawberry Salad!
This salad is very simple to make, and has less than 10 ingredients, but delivers a balanced mix of sweet, toasty, earthy, and acidic flavors, making for a truly memorable bite!
Ingredients:
Salad:
- 1/3 cup sliced almonds, toasted
- 1 (5 oz) bag spring mix
- 2 sliced white peaches or nectarines
- 1 cup sliced strawberries
- 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (if you don’t like blue cheese, you can substitute in feta)
Dressing:
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
- pinch of salt and pepper
