Arugula Salad with Honey-Drizzled Peaches
Ingredients
- ¼ cup finely chopped toasted pecans
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
- 1 4-ounce log goat cheese
- 6 cups baby arugula
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 4 firm peaches, halved and pitted
- 4 tablespoons honey
Preparation
Place pecans in a shallow dish. Season with ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper. Roll goat cheese log in the pecans to coat. Refrigerate the log until firm, if necessary, then cut into 8 rounds.
Place arugula in a medium bowl. Add oil, lemon zest and juice and toss to coat; season with the remaining ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper.
Divide the arugula among 4 shallow bowls. Nestle 2 peach halves into each portion of greens, top each half with a round of pecan-crusted goat cheese and drizzle each salad with 1 tablespoon honey.
