Peachy Orange Arugula Salad Food

VIBRANT ORANGE & ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• First, toast the almonds: In a small skillet over medium heat, warm the almonds until they are fragrant and starting to turn golden on the edges, stirring frequently (careful, they'll burn!), about 5 minutes. Transfer them to a bowl to cool.
• Place the arugula on a large serving platter or into a large serving bowl. Arrange the oranges, toasted almonds, goat cheese and radishes on top. Sprinkle the top lightly with a pinch or two of cinnamon. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, honey and salt. Whisk together until blended. Taste, and add a little more honey if it's unpleasantly tart.
• Once you're ready to serve, drizzle the dressing lightly over the salad (you might have a little extra), toss, and serve immediately.

PEACH ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl or serving dish, combine arugula, peaches, feta, and pecans.
• Make the balsamic vinaigrette by stirring to combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper, in a small bowl.
• Pour the dressing on top of the salad and toss to combine. Serve immediately.

PEACH AND ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• Whisk together vinegar, juice, and salt, then add extra-virgin oil in a stream, whisking until emulsified.
• Cut an X in bottom of each peach and immerse in boiling water 15 seconds, then transfer to a bowl of ice water. Peel peaches and cut each into 6 wedges, then unroll pancetta slices and wrap one slice around each wedge, overlapping ends of pancetta. Heat remaining oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook peaches in 2 batches, turning over occasionally with tongs, until pancetta is browned on all sides and cooked through, about 5 minutes per batch. Transfer to a plate and keep warm, covered loosely with foil.
• Divide arugula and warm pancetta-wrapped peaches among 8 salad plates. Drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with ricotta salata and pepper. Serve immediately.

ARUGULA, PEAR AND ORANGE SALAD

Steps:

• Make the dressing. In a jar, combine olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cover and shake vigorously.
• Peel the orange and divide into sections. Roughly chop pears into chunks and arrange on a bed of arugula. Add pitted green olives and the orange sections. Top with mint and dressing. Store leftover dressing in the refrigerator.
