Ingredients
  • 4 ounces of wild baby arugula, thoroughly washed and dried
  • 1 large white peach, firm yet ripe and free of any bruising
  • 1 Tbs. minced shallot
  • 1½ Tbs. of champagne vinegar
  • 3 Tbs. of high quality extra virgin olive oil
  • Sicilian or Maldon Flake Sea Salt, to taste

  1. Combine the minced shallots and champagne vinegar and allow to sit for at least 10 minutes.
  2. Assemble all of the ingredients, including the salad bowl and serving utensils.
  3. Place the prepared arugula into the salad bowl.
  4. When ready to serve the salad, slice the peach in half, slicing each half into 4 lengthwise slices and then slice the opposite way to create cube like segments of the peach. Arrange the peach cubes over the arugula.
