Peach and Avocado Salad

Our peaches and avocados ripen at about the same time, so this recipe became a staple for July. You could substitute butter lettuce or romaine lettuce if you don't care for bitter greens.

What you need

1. 6 cups torn bitter greens such as kale, mustard, dandelion or arugula
2. 4 fresh ripe peaches, peeled and thinly sliced
3. 2 ripe avocados, peeled and thinly sliced
4. 1 large scallion thinly sliced
5. 1/2 cup cucumber, very thinly sliced
6. 1 T dijon mustard
7. 3-4 T fresh lemon juice
8. 1 tsp agave syrup (optional)
9. 1/2 tsp kosher salt
10. 4-6 T olive oil
11. Fresh minced cilantro or parsley leaves (optional)

How to make it

1. In a salad bowl whisk mustard, lemon juice, agave and salt - add olive oil slowly while whisking
2. Add scallion to dressing
3. Slice peaches and avocado and coat with the dressing
4. Layer cucumber over the top and top with torn greens
5. Add minced herbs
6. Toss immediately before serving

This salad is good even without the avocado
