Arugula, Peach & Goat Cheese Salad with Cherry Dressing
Print Recipe

Most cherry dressings are full of processed syrups or concentrates: not this one! Use it to top a punchy arugula salad with goat cheese and fresh peaches.

Ingredients

Scale

For the dressing:

  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen (no sugar added) cherries
  • 2 tbl water
  • 2 tbl mild flavored olive oil
  • 1 tbl lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the salad:

  • 6 cups arugula
  • 2 peaches, sliced finely
  • 4 fine slices red onion
  • 4 oz goat cheese, crumbled
  • Basil leaves, chopped finely, for garnish

Instructions

For the dressing:

  1. In a blender, combine the cherries and water until liquefied. Strain the cherries using a fine meshed strainer to remove the cherry pulp and keep the cherry juices in a bowl.
  2. Add the olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper; whisk to emulsify.

For the salad:

  1. Divide the arugula between four plates. Top with finely sliced red onion and peach slices.
  2. Sprinkle the crumbled goats cheese on top of the salads and drizzle liberally with cherry dressing.
  3. Garnish with sliced basil leaves and serve.
