3 medium peaches, ripe but not
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp red-wine vinegar
1/4 tsp table salt
1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground (plus extra for garnish)
6 cups baby arugula
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup semisoft goat cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup salted dry-roasted pistachio nuts, coarsely chopped
Peel and pit one peach; cut it into chunks. Cut remaining peaches into thin slices or wedges; set aside.
Put peach chunks, oil, vinegar, salt and pepper in a blender; blend until smooth and set aside.
Place arugula, onion and peach slices in a large serving bowl; drizzle with dressing and gently toss to coat. Sprinkle with cheese and nuts; grind some extra black pepper over top, if desired. Yields about 2 cups salad mixture and 1 tablespoon each cheese and nuts per serving.
