Easy Arugula, Peach, Goat Cheese and Sweet Corn Salad

August 20, 2018 by Andrea Shome Leave a Comment

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

My favorite salads, especially in the summer end up being a mixture of what is fresh, local and in season. This one is a great example of it!! Fresh arugula greens are mixed with sweet peaches, corn and goat cheese, then finished with a light honey balsamic vinaigrette for a super delicious and satisfying entrée sized salad.

This salad would be great for a potluck or any other gathering because it presents itself so well! Assemble all the salad components and keep the dressing separate until you’re ready to toss and serve. I didn’t have any nuts on hand, but toasted almonds, walnuts or pecans would complement the flavors well and add a little extra crunch. We served ours with seafood since we were at the beach, but this would be great with any other protein like grilled chicken or fish.

Enjoy 🙂

Instructions
