Salted Peach and Herb Olive Oil Salad

Last night in desperate need of a break from writing I decided to try something new. I threw some ingredients together with fresh herbs and ended up with this fantastic salad that I'm sure is going to become a regular on my weekly menu. Please tell me I'm not the only person that lives off of New York Time's articles and recipes...

"Summer is over but the fruit is still fresh" Salted Peach and Herb Olive Oil Salad:
(Inspired by 101 Simple Salads, serves 2)

  • 1/2 bag Spring Mix Lettuce
  • 2 Red Tomatoes, sliced
  • 2 Peachs, sliced
  • 4 Baby Yellow Tomatoes, sliced
  • 1/4 Red Onion, sliced thinly
  • Handful of Cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 cup Edamame
  • 1/2 Lemon, juice
  • 2 tbsp Tuscan Olive Oil, or any EVOO
  • 2 tsp Chili Pepper Flakes
  • Salt + Pepper
Mix all ingredients together then top with EVOO, Lemon juice, salt and pepper. Serve cold. Optional: you can add avocado for a creamy texture.

Sorry for the messy/blurry quality of photos..I've been really distracted lately. But thanks for every one's understanding. I finished my paper and will be back to posting regularly. After much thought and procrastination I finally decided what field I want to work in...which will be nutrition. It's going to be alot of work but I'm planning on starting classes in Spring 2010. Very excited!! Thank you all again for the encouragement :) Goodnight.
