Some folks avoid salads believing them to be bland bowls of lettuce that you have to drench in dressing to make them remotely appetizing. But this is totally untrue. Salads can be a delightful explosion of flavors, textures, and colors that tantalize your taste buds. You just have to use the right ingredients!

My Sweet & Savory Summer Peach Salad is the perfect combination of ingredients that will make you fall in love with salads all over again.

Like most salads, this one starts with a bed of greens as the base. Next comes slices of juicy, ripe peaches that explode with sweetness.  Throw in some red onion, salty prosciutto, and tangy goat cheese for the ultimate sweet and savory combo. Then, crunchy walnuts get sprinkled on to add the texture that’s needed.

All the ingredients are good individually, but it’s the amazing peach vinaigrette that really brings everything together.

The sweetness of the ripe peaches is balanced perfectly by the acid in the Nakano® Rice Vinegar. Toss both in your blender or food processor with some EVOO, honey, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper and you end up with an incredible dressing that you’ll want to use on everything. It’s a must-have for this recipe and is also amazing with pork, chicken, veggies and so much more.
