ROASTED BEET, PEACH AND GOAT CHEESE SALAD
This salad is a bit of work, but it's so delicious and always impresses guests. Mache can be hard to find, so you may omit it and just use arugula, but it adds a great nutty flavor if you can find it.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Wrap each beet in two layers of aluminum foil, and place onto a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until the beets are tender, about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Allow the beets to cool slightly, then remove the skins. Let the beets cool to room temperature, or refrigerate until cold. Once cooled, thinly slice the beets.
- Place the mache and arugula into a large mixing bowl. Add the sliced beets and peaches; sprinkle with the shallots, pistachios, and goat cheese. In a separate bowl, whisk together the walnut oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper until emulsified, and pour over the salad mixture. Toss well, and serve.

TOMATO AND PEACH SALAD WITH WHIPPED GOAT CHEESE
Whizzed in the food processor with some heavy cream and lemon zest, earthy goat cheese becomes rich and creamy, the perfect complement to juicy peaches and tomatoes. Fresh purslane, if you can find it, provides a slight crunch to the salad, but mâche or watercress would also work well. You could also tear up some basil, parsley or other tender herbs you have lying around and toss those in just before serving. Colorful, fresh and easy, this salad works as a starter, a side or a summery supper, piled on top of grilled bread.

Tips for Making the Best Peach Salad
- Choose ripe, flavorful peaches: You want peaches that are soft to the touch and have a sweet smell. Avoid peaches that are hard or bruised.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like basil, mint, or cilantro add a burst of flavor to peach salad. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less since they are more concentrated.
- Add some acidity: A little bit of acidity helps to balance out the sweetness of the peaches. You can add acidity with lemon juice, lime juice, or even vinegar.
- Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. You don't want to weigh down the salad or make it too oily.
- Serve the salad immediately: Peach salad is best served fresh. If you make it ahead of time, the peaches will start to brown and the salad will lose its flavor.
Conclusion
Peach salad is a delicious and refreshing summer dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet, juicy peaches, fresh herbs, and tangy dressing, peach salad is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a light and healthy meal, give peach salad a try!
