Green salad with peaches, feta & mint vinaigrette
Discover a flavorful blend of fresh greens, juicy peaches, tangy feta, and aromatic mint vinaigrette in this refreshing summer salad. A true delight for your taste buds!
Ingredients:
- ¼ cup chopped fresh mint
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 12 cups bitter greens, such as arugula, mizuna and/or watercress, tough ends trimmed
- ½ cup packed slivered mint
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 6 ripe peaches or nectarines, sliced
- ⅓ cup sliced or slivered almonds, toasted
- ¾ cup crumbled feta or goat cheese (about 90g)
Instructions:
- For the vinaigrette: Mix together minced mint and freshly squeezed lemon juice in a small saucepan. Let it come to a boil, then turn off the heat. Allow it to infuse for approximately 10 minutes. Filter the mixture into a large bowl, pressing the mint leaves to extract all the liquid. (You should end up with around 3 tablespoons of liquid post-straining.) Introduce oil, vinegar, honey, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt; whisk until thoroughly blended.
- For the salad: Combine greens and thinly sliced mint in the vinaigrette-coated bowl and season with salt. Add peaches (or nectarines) and sliced almonds; gently mix together. Present the salad with a topping of feta (or goat cheese).
