A colorful arugula salad filled with fresh fruits and dressed with a simple red wine vinaigrette.
While some people are moving towards Fall recipes already, I still can’t get enough of the fresh peaches, blueberries, and arugula from my local farmer’s market. It’s been scorching hot over here this week, so a light, refreshing salad is in the cards!
This salad is loaded with sweet summer peaches, juicy blueberries and peppery arugula, dressed with a simple red wine vinaigrette, and topped with crumbled blue cheese and crunchy almonds to add even more flavors and textures.
You can add a protein to this salad and serve it as an entree salad. Grilled chicken or steak would be great!
Are you ready to move on to Fall recipes, or still hanging onto Summer for as long as possible?
