ARUGULA SALAD WITH PEACHES, GOAT CHEESE AND BASIL
This simple, quintessential summer salad is a reminder that seasonal ingredients at their very best don't need much fussing (or much cooking at all, in this case). Here, peppery arugula and earthy goat cheese get brightened with juicy summer peaches, but the recipe can be tweaked to suit all seasons: If you can't find ripe peaches, you can use cherries, strawberries, plums, raspberries or even cherry tomatoes in their place.

Steps:
- In the bottom of a pressure cooker, combine beans, 4 cups water, 1 tablespoon oil and 1 teaspoon salt. Cover tightly and bring to high pressure over medium-high heat, about 10 minutes.
- While the beans are cooking, combine the ingredients for the vinaigrette. In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, shallots and a pinch of salt. Check the pressure cooker, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain pressure, for 30 minutes. Drizzle the remaining olive oil into the vinaigrette. Set aside.
- Once the beans have cooked at pressure for 30 minutes, remove from the heat and run the pot under cool, running water to release the pressure. Check the quick release valve to make sure all of the pressure has been released.Carefully open and test the beans. If they are not done, continue to simmer uncovered until they are (usually just another 5 to 10 minutes). If the pan dries out, add more water. Drain the beans and let cool.
- To assemble the salad, add half of the vinaigrette to the cooled beans. Toss gently to coat.In a large bowl, toss together the arugula, remaining vinaigrette and halved tomatoes. Add the grated Pecorino or Manchego cheese. Add the dressed beans. Toss to combine. Finish with optional freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest ingredients possible: This will ensure that your salad is flavorful and nutritious.
- Wash your arugula thoroughly: This will remove any dirt or debris.
- Use a variety of toppings: This will add flavor and texture to your salad.
- Don't overdress your salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way.
- Serve your salad immediately: Arugula wilts quickly, so it's best to enjoy it right away.
