White Peach Strawberry Salad

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

Bourbon Peach Lemonade

I am on a bit of a peach kick at the moment.  They have looked oh so amazing at the store recently, and my boyfriend is a huge fan, so why not? Expect a couple more peach recipes to show up on here in the coming weeks. (I’ll try to space them out a bit.)

A friend of mine made this absolutely delicious Honey-Ginger Sparkling Bourbon Lemonade a few months back that I haven’t stopped thinking about. It was SO good! So when I spotted Cooking Light’s recipe for a Peachy Bourbon Lemonade, I had to make it immediately, hoping it would be similarly delicious.

This lemonade is such a treat during this uncomfortably hot weather we are having. It would be just as yummy and refreshing without the bourbon (either as a non-alcoholic drink or with another spirit of choice).

 

Ingredients (Serves 4):

  • 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 3 cups water
  • 2 cups chopped, peeled peaches (I used white peaches)
  • ¼ cup lightly packed mint leaves
  • 6 tablespoons sugar
  • ¾ cup bourbon
  • Ice

 

Note: Bourbon does include grains that contain gluten. However, distilled alcohol is considered gluten-free because the process of distillation removes the harmful gluten protein, which is why I have this recipe listed as gluten free. If you are highly sensitive to gluten, bourbon may be off limits for you.
