Notes
Tips
- Fresh ingredients are best! Avoid using canned fruits and try to use fresh lemon juice too for the vinaigrette!
- Use good quality olive oil! The olive oil is the base of the vinaigrette so ensure that
- Be sure to look for the CA GROWN logo when shopping for produce!
- Add a protein like flank steak or smoked chicken breasts
- If you can't find fresh cherries, you can use whatever fresh berries in season!
- Try adding a creamy balsamic dressing or balsamic glaze like how I did with my peach caprese salad!
- Grill the peaches to give a true summer feel! Grilling the peaches caramelizes the sugars and give them a sweet and smoky taste - it's delicious.
