The kids and I are in Kingston now and enjoying going to the market 2 or 3 times every week. It is wonderful to enjoy all of summer's freshest flavours. I just remembered this wonderful recipe from Chatelaine and thought I had better share it before this year's peaches are gone. Enjoy!
Peach, Balsamic and Chevre Salad
Arugula, spinach or mixed baby greens (about 8 cups)
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 peaches or nectarines
1-2 tbsp olive oil
1-2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 tsp each salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 to 3/4 cup (125 to 175 mL) creamy chèvre (goat cheese) or peppercorn boursin
Wash greens and spin dry. Place in a bowl and toss together. In a very small saucepan or frying pan set over medium-high heat, bring vinegar to a boil. Boil, uncovered, until slightly thickened, from 1 to 3 minutes. Meanwhile, slice peaches into wedges. Place peaches in a medium-size bowl. Drizzle reduced vinegar over peaches and toss gently to coat.
In a small bowl, whisk oil with garlic, salt and pepper. If there is any excess vinegar from peaches, drain off and whisk into oil mixture. Drizzle dressing over arugula and spinach and toss to evenly coat. Arrange peaches on top of greens. Crumble chèvre on top.
