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!

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.
