Ingredients

  • 4 fresh, ripe peaches (about 500g), sliced
  • 120 g of spinach, about 4 cups
  • 2 medium avocados, sliced
  • 60 grams of goat cheese, about ¼ cup, crumbled
  • 70 grams of almonds, about ½ cup, toasted and roughly chopped

For the dressing

  • 60 ml of olive oil, ¼ cup
  • 3 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, 45ml
  • 1 tablespoon of honey, 15ml
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Toast the almonds

  • Start by toasting the almonds. Place them in a dry pan over medium heat. Stir them frequently and watch closely to prevent burning. Once they're golden and fragrant, remove from heat and let them cool. Then, roughly chop the toasted almonds.

Make the dressing

  • In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.

Assemble the salad

  • In a large salad bowl, combine the sliced peaches, spinach, and avocado.
  • Drizzle the dressing over the salad ingredients in the large bowl. Toss gently to combine, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated.
  • Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese and toasted almonds over the top of the salad.
  • Serve immediately. Enjoy this refreshing, flavorful salad as a light lunch or as a side dish with your favorite summer meal.

Notes

Helpful Notes:
  1. Choose ripe but firm peaches and avocados for the best texture.
  2. The dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge. Just give it a good shake or stir before drizzling it over the salad.
  3. Feel free to customise this salad with your favorite summer fruits (strawberries work really well!) or different types of cheese. Blue cheese or feta would also work well in place of the goat cheese.
