Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt (preferably sea salt)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 firm-ripe peaches (1 1/2 lb total)
24 thin slices pancetta (Italian unsmoked cured bacon; 1 1/4 lb)
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 oz baby arugula (6 cups)
2 1/2 oz finely crumbled ricotta salata (1/2 cup)
Coarsely ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Whisk together vinegar, juice, and salt, then add extra-virgin oil in a stream, whisking until emulsified.
  • Cut an X in bottom of each peach and immerse in boiling water 15 seconds, then transfer to a bowl of ice water. Peel peaches and cut each into 6 wedges, then unroll pancetta slices and wrap one slice around each wedge, overlapping ends of pancetta. Heat remaining oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook peaches in 2 batches, turning over occasionally with tongs, until pancetta is browned on all sides and cooked through, about 5 minutes per batch. Transfer to a plate and keep warm, covered loosely with foil.
  • Divide arugula and warm pancetta-wrapped peaches among 8 salad plates. Drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with ricotta salata and pepper. Serve immediately.

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 large eggs
1 tablespoon milk
1 cup panko or dry breadcrumbs
1/2 cup Parmigiano finely grated
1/3 cup flour
1 pound boneless chicken breasts (4) pounded
3 pinches salt
9 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon smooth Dijon mustard
2 ripe peaches pitted and cut into wedges
4 ounces baby arugula
1/2 small red onion thinly sliced

Steps:

  • preheat oven to 200 degrees to keep fried chicken warm
  • beat the eggs with milk and put in a shallow wide dish; put breadcrumbs mixed with Parmigiano in another shallow dish; put flour in a third shallow dish
  • dredge chicken in flour, shake excess, then dredge in egg wash, then dredge in crumbs, then place on a wire rack to set for 5 mins
  • in a medium bowl whisk together 4 tablespoons of oil, vinegar and mustard, season with salt and pepper and add peaches and toss gently
  • heat 3 tablespoons of oil over medium high heat in a skillet and cook the cutlets 2 at a time, flipping once till golden and crisp, about 2 mins per side. Put cutlets after they finish cooking in the oven to keep warm.
  • add arugula and onion to the peaches and toss well. Serve the chicken topped with salad.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful peaches. The sweetness of the peaches will help balance the bitterness of the arugula.
  • Use a variety of arugula. There are many different types of arugula available, each with its own unique flavor. Try using a mix of mild and spicy arugula for a more complex flavor.
  • Add some crunch. Nuts, seeds, or croutons can add a nice crunchy texture to the salad.
  • Don't overdress the salad. A light vinaigrette or drizzle of olive oil is all you need to enhance the flavors of the salad without overpowering them.
  • Serve the salad immediately. Arugula wilts quickly, so it's best to serve the salad as soon as it's made.

Conclusion:

Arugula peach salad is a refreshing and flavorful salad that's perfect for a summer meal. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its combination of sweet, bitter, and crunchy flavors, this salad is sure to please everyone at your table.
