Instructions

Add all salad ingredients to a large salad bowl or mixing bowl.
2 cups arugula, 2 cups baby spinach, ¼ cup pine nuts, ½ cup sundried tomatoes, 1 peach, ¼ cup feta cheese
In a small bowl, whisk together all the dressing ingredients until well combined.
3 tablespoons avocado oil, 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon honey, 1 clove garlic, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients

Notes

Ensure all your ingredients are fresh. Fresh arugula, spinach, and ripe peaches (but not overripe).

Optionally, you can toast pine nuts (or any other nuts you're using) to enhance their flavor. Simply place them in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently until golden brown.

Whisk the dressing ingredients well, to emulsify. Then taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning before adding it to the salad.

To avoid soggy greens, make sure to dress the salad just before serving.

You can also add feta cheese last to prevent it from becoming too soft or crumbled during mixing.
