I’m not normally a huge fan of fruit in salads, but this bit of summer deliciousness is an exception. Peach and Arugula alad brings the peppery bitterness of cruciferous arugula and the sweetness of ripe peaches together in a match made in heaven. Throw in the salty tang of feta, and you have an easy salad that’s truly special.

2 tablespoons basil leaves cut into a chiffonade

5 ounce box pre-washed baby arugula (See Chef Tips below)

Chef Tips
A 5 ounce box of baby arugula = about 7 loosely packed cups.
I always wash ‘pre-washed’ greens a second time to be on the safe side.
