Arugula Salad with Peach and Pecan
Valentina P
Juicy, ripe peaches tossed with nutty pecans, arugula, and tangy goat cheese. Drizzle it all with a simple honey-mustard vinaigrette and enjoy the fruits (literally) of your labor. Don't skip the step of toasting the pecans, as it really brings out the flavor. Vegan option.

Salad
- 4 large handfuls arugula
- 1 large ripe peach, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup pecans
- 33333333/100000000 cup goat cheese, crumbled (or soft non-dairy cheese) Honey Mustard Vinaigrette
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup)
- salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Toast the pecans in a dry pan or 350°F oven until fragrant. Be careful not to burn. In an oven, it should only take about 5 minutes. Set the pecans aside on a plate when done (if left in the hot pan, they will continue to cook).
- Step 2: Whisk together the vinaigrette ingredients until smooth. Be generous with the black pepper.
- Step 3: Combine all salad ingredients together in a large bowl. Add the vinaigrette, to taste, and toss to combine.
- Serve: Grab a fork and enjoy. This is amazing alongside roasted pork tenderloin or baked honey dijon chicken.
Recipe Notes
Every 4 large handfuls of arugula is equal to about 4 cups.

Fantastic summer salad! I added sliced plums, which was nice too!
That salad looks beautiful (love the patterned bowl too)! I’ll have to give it a try with the plums — it sounds delicious.😊
