Summer Salad with Peach Balsamic Vinegar
Summer Salads
One of my favorite gifts from my in-laws back in the day, was alot of the most delicious balsamic vinegars and olive oils from Con’ Olio! We made a ton of really great salads when I was into eating alot of kale salads!
And lately, I’ve been on the hunt for some really good vinegars again, because all we feel like eating right now are salads. Not necessarily kale, just salads.
And these are some really fun balsamic vinegars because they go so well with fruit in the salad. Summer appetites, you know? Like two to three times a week.
And supporting local businesses. So we’ve been ordering a ton of stuff from Con’ Olio. I might be starting to have my favorites, and this one is one of them.
We don’t have to add sugar or salt or anything but olive oil. The flavors of the vinegars are perfect. I just make the salad and splash a little oil and then the fancy vinegar and we have a great salad. Especially because the fruit is so ripe right now, making it perfect for salads and fruit crumbles, too.
And the vinegar is awesome!
This Peach Balsamic Summer Salad
So this salad was so easy. I told you that nectarines are insanely good this season. So we used a little lettuce and rainbow carrots, a little hard goat cheese, a few glazed pistachios and nuts and candied fruit from Sahale, Persian cucumbers, and a little bacon.
Then we tossed it in a Summer Peach Balsamic Vinegar/Olive Oil dressing – and it was so good!!!
