Salad with Peaches and Goat's Cheese



Sometimes, a salad is all you want. Sure, it's nearing the end of summer, but peaches are at their prime, and maybe a sunny dish like this is a way to prolong the season a little bit. The flavor combination is intense. And as far as a salad goes, this is pretty filling. Serve with a good bread, and you'll be all set!

Salad with Peaches and Goat's Cheese
Serves 2

100 g rocket, washed and drained
3 peaches, halved and sliced
125 g chèvre cheese
125 g sugar peas, roughly sliced
1/2 red onion, cut into thin half moons

Dressing:
raspberry balsamic vinegar
olive oil
salt
pepper
brown sugar

Put the rocket in a bowl, and dress with some tasty vinegar, a splash of olive oil, and pinches of salt, pepper and brown sugar. Taste and adjust. Add the red onion and sugar peas, toss well. Transfer to two plates, and spread out the greens. Top with the peach slices and crumbled chèvre.

Oh, I should clarify. Rocket is called ruccola in Swedish stores, and aragula in other places. Hopefully that helps some!
