Ingredients

4 to 5 cups arugula
1 ripe peach, sliced
1/2 to 1 cup blueberries
1 avocado, sliced
2 to 3 oz plain goat cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup roasted cashews, roughly chopped
2 to 3 tbsp pickled red onions
2 to 3 green onions, thinly sliced
Optional: a few chopped pickled peppers
Fresh cracked black pepper
Flaky salt (optional)
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp white balsamic reduction
1 tsp regular balsamic reduction
1 to 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 small grated garlic clove
1 tsp hot honey
Pinch of salt

Instructions

Whisk olive oil, white balsamic reduction, regular balsamic reduction, lemon juice, garlic, hot honey, pinch of salt, and lots of black pepper into a vinaigrette. Adjust lemon or oil to taste.
Toss arugula lightly with just enough dressing to coat.

Prep
Arrange peach, blueberries, avocado, goat cheese, pickled red onions, green onions, cashews, and optional pickled peppers on top.

Cooking
Finish with another tiny drizzle of white balsamic reduction and a very light drizzle of hot honey over the peaches and goat cheese.
Finish with black pepper and optional flaky salt or fresh basil/mint.

Notes

Toast cashews in a dry skillet 3 to 5 minutes for better flavor.
Different from Sweet Heat Strawberry Peach Salad on this site (that one is strawberry-forward with balsamic glaze and hot honey; this one is peach, blueberry, and avocado with a lemon white balsamic vinaigrette).
