Salad Base

Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Roasting the Peaches

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the peaches in half and remove the pits. Place the peach halves on a baking sheet, cut side up. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and caramelized.

  2. 2

    Preparing the Corn

    If using fresh corn, boil the ears of corn for about 5 minutes, then cool and cut the kernels off the cob. If using canned corn, drain and rinse under cold water.

  3. 3

    Preparing the Grape Tomatoes

    Rinse the grape tomatoes and cut them in half. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Cooking the Farro

    Cook farro according to package instructions. Typically, it takes about 20-30 minutes to cook. Once cooked, drain and set aside to cool.

  5. 5

    Mixing the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the arugula, corn, grape tomatoes, chopped pecans, crumbled gorgonzola, and cooked farro. Toss gently to combine.

Vinaigrette Preparation

  1. 6

    Making the Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, white wine vinegar, chopped tarragon, chopped chives, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Combining Everything

    Once the peaches are roasted, add them to the salad mixture. Drizzle the tarragon chive vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients.

  2. 8

    Optional Protein Addition

    If desired, grill or sauté the chicken, shrimp, or salmon until cooked through. Add to the salad before serving.
