KALE SALAD WITH PEACHES AND CORNBREAD CROUTONS
This Southern-inspired tossed salad contrasts bitter greens with plump peaches, piquant blue cheese and crispy cornbread crumbs. Seasoned with smoked paprika, onion powder and a hefty dose of pepper, the cornbread crumbs bring serious flavor and texture. While they could be roasted in the oven, sautéeing them in a skillet allows you to better monitor their doneness, and turns the tiniest crumbs brown and extra crunchy while the larger pieces toast until golden but still tender. Sprinkle leftover croutons over salad greens, raw sliced tomatoes or any range of roasted vegetables.

Steps:
- Prepare the cornbread croutons: In a medium bowl, whisk 3 tablespoons olive oil with the paprika, onion powder and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Add the cornbread pieces, crumbling them gently between your fingers as you do. Using a rubber spatula, fold the mixture gently until evenly coated. (The croutons will crumble, but do not panic: The smaller size means more crispy bits.)
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add the cornbread mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp and golden, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to cool.
- Make the dressing: In a large bowl, stir together the red onion, olive oil, vinegar, mustard and honey with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. (You should have 3/4 cup dressing.)
- Add the kale to the dressing and toss to coat. Then, using your hands, assertively massage the kale until tender. Add the peaches and blue cheese, and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer salad to a shallow platter or individual plates, and top with half the crispy cornbread crumbs. Serve with remaining cornbread crumbs, passing them at the table.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm peaches for your salad. Avoid peaches that are bruised or have soft spots.
- Use a variety of lettuces and greens for your salad, such as romaine, arugula, spinach, or kale.
- Add other fruits to your salad for a refreshing twist, such as berries, grapes, or melon.
- Use a light and flavorful dressing for your salad, such as a vinaigrette or a honey mustard dressing.
- Garnish your salad with nuts, seeds, or crumbled cheese for extra flavor and texture.
