    Fresh BC peaches and arugula is simple, quintessential summer salads that remind us that seasonal ingredients are at their very best. The ingredients speak for themselves, and everything just pairs well together without much fuss.

    What Type of Peach Is Best?

    Food Advertisements by

    Although this arugula salad recipe asks for fresh ripe peaches, you can use canned peaches, cherries, strawberries or nectarines to suit the change in seasons.

    We like using Freestone peaches - they are the best for cooking and baking. Plus, peeling and slicing Freestone peaches is very easy compared to Clingstone peaches. Similarly, there is also Saturn peach, aka Donut peaches. They are the sweetest.

    Vegan Arugula Salad

    Top the summer salad with fruits with a beautiful Elderflower Vinaigrette and crumbled feta cheese. In addition, if you fancy, add some toasted pine nuts!

    You can also turn this salad into a vegan arugula salad simply by switching out the feta for this vegan almond ricotta cheese, vegan tofu feta cheese or vegan goat cheese substitute!

    How To Make Elderflower Vinaigrette?

    In fact, Elderflower Vinaigrette is simple to make. Mix organic Elderflower, White wine vinegar, grape seed oil (or any neutral tasting oil), dijon mustard (i prefer the old-fashioned kind), maple syrup and brown sugar.

    Viola! There you have yourself a refreshingly delicious summer salad bursting with juicy ripe peaches, bright feta, nutty pine nuts and fragrant arugula salad dressing!

    Enjoy the easy pepper bite of arugula! But of course, we won't stop you if you decide to use this recipe for a fall arugula salad!

      I love arugula, but I'm always trying to figure out how to make the most of it given how short of a time it lasts. Salads are a go-to of course, but they're often lacking something. Peach is, I have to say, the perfect touch. That intense stone fruit sweetness with peppery arugula is perfect!

        i just don't get enough garden fresh arugula - too short the growing season - and often have to resort to store bought. But I agree with you stone fruits is just perfect contrast with these greens!
