Time 15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • Soak 1/2 thinly sliced red onion in ice water for 10 minutes; drain and pat dry. Whisk 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar and 2 teaspoons each honey and Dijon mustard in a large bowl; whisk in 1/4 cup olive oil. Add the onion, 6 peaches (cut into wedges), 1/2 cup chopped candied walnuts and 1/4 cup each fresh basil and mint. Season with salt and pepper and toss.

Tips:

  • Prep Fruit Evenly: Cut all fruits into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking and a balanced flavor profile.
  • Chill Ingredients: Before assembling the salad, chill the fruits, yogurt, and honey dressing separately. This helps keep the salad cool and refreshing.
  • Use Fresh, Ripe Fruit: The quality of your fruit greatly impacts the flavor of the salad. Choose ripe, flavorful fruits that are at their peak season.
  • Drain Canned Fruit: If using canned fruit, be sure to drain it thoroughly before adding it to the salad. This prevents the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a Variety of Fruits: Don't be afraid to mix and match different fruits. The more variety, the more complex and interesting the flavor of the salad will be.
  • Add Some Crunch: Incorporate crunchy elements like nuts, granola, or roasted seeds to add texture and depth to the salad.
  • Adjust Sweetness to Taste: The amount of honey in the dressing can be adjusted to your preference. Taste the dressing before adding it to the salad and adjust as needed.
