INGREDIENT NOTES
Salad – You can use your favourite salad for this recipe. These flavours work well with rocket, romaine and iceberg.
Peaches – if you’re having a bbq, grill the halved peaches outside or simply use your grill inside. Leave them until the end when you’ve finished with the salad so they’re still warm.
Goats Cheese – I adore goat’s cheese with the sweetness from the honey pecans and grilled peaches. However, if you would like to make this dairy-free you can substitute the goat’s cheese for avocado instead.
Yoghurt – I find greek yoghurt works best for this dressing as it’s super creamy. You can opt for unflavoured soy or coconut yoghurt also. Still delicious.
Berries – blueberries complement these flavour so well. However you could instead substitute them for strawberries. Perfect in the summer!
Dressing – the dressing can be either mixed in a blender or shaken in a mason jar.
