Summer Peach Salad

It's another week of trying to use greens -- weeks like these always remind me of our early CSA baskets. In an effort to not eat salad every day for every meal I tried to stagger some other dinner preparations into the mix between salad nights. Dave put this together while I was at boxing late one night and it was a nice blend of crunchy, salty, savory, and sweet. This salad is really a blank canvas any stone fruit would be a good addition, you can sub out the goat cheese for any cheese, and the almonds could be any other nut and this would still taste good. The dressing was simple and helped bring out the sweetness of the peaches. We packaged the lettuce/dressing, avocado/peaches, and toasted almonds separately for lunch the next day and everything was just as good the next day at work.

Recipe from Ambitious Kitchen.

-4 cups mixed greens
