Summer Salad: A Seasonal Recipe

Summer Salad: A Seasonal Recipe

Summer Salad Recipe: Grilled peaches + Candied Pecans | Rockwell

First, a disclaimer: I do not like salads. Let me rephrase, I will never experience an ounce of satisfaction by the average, run-of-the-mill salad comprised of shredded iceberg lettuce, parmesan cheese, and croutons swimming in a pool of dressing. Not only does the common plate lack nutritional value, but also it’s loaded in empty calories and essentially tastes like glorified cardboard.

I do, however, enjoy a fresh salad made with seasonal ingredients on a bed of arugula, which brings me to today’s delicious recipe. It was too good not to share…

Recipe serves 2.
