Avocado Peach Salad
Description
This salad uses a base of crisp butter lettuce leaves tossed with slices of avocado, peaches, and nectarines, offering a balance of creamy, sweet, and tender textures. The chives add subtle onion notes that complement the fruit’s freshness.
The lemon shallot vinaigrette is made by whisking fresh lemon juice, red wine vinegar, olive oil, minced shallot and garlic, and grated Parmesan. This dressing provides both acidity and savory depth, balancing the salad’s sweet and creamy components while adding a slight sharpness.
Served on a large platter, the salad suits a light lunch or as a fresh side dish in summer meals. The vinaigrette can be made in a larger batch and refrigerated, providing convenience for multiple uses throughout the week.
