This salad is like summer in a bowl! It is a great way to enjoy the sweetness of peaches with a healthy dose of greens. The fresh mint is what really makes it!
This easy summer salad is delish and full of fresh flavor- the peaches are good either fresh or grilled so feel free to do them either way! Serves 2.

Ingredients
8 oz fresh baby arugula, washed
2 large fresh peaches, washed and sliced
2 tbsp pine nuts
4 fresh radishes, washed and sliced
2 tbsp fresh vegan pesto (we like gotham farms)
2 sprigs fresh mint, stems removed and washed
Directions
Wash arugula and split between two large bowls
Wash and slice peach. If you prefer it grilled, warm a grill pan over med-high heat with a spray of a neutral oil like avocado or coconut. Add peach slices and grill undisturbed for 3 min to get nice marks. Flip and cook another 2 min. Remove and cool then add to arugula
In warm pan add pine nuts and toast lightly 2-3 min. Remove and cool then add to salad
Wash and slice radishes, add to salad
Wash and de-stem mint. Chiffonade and sprinkle over each salad.
Drizzle 1 scant tbsp of pesto over each salad. Add salt and pepper to taste and toss to coat!
Serve with grilled chicken or fish for a beautiful summer meal!
