Ingredients
- 6 cups arugula
- ½ pint blueberries
- ½ pint blackberries
- ½ red onion sliced thin
- ½ cup pecans
- ½ tablespoon maple syrup
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Dressing:
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

- 3 yellow peaches

Croutons:
- 5 cups bread cubed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
- Clean and prep salad ingredients - arugula (or other favorite greens), blueberries, blackberries and red onions. Set aside.
- Prepare salad dressing ingredients in a small measuring cup.
- *Optional - bake croutons if adding to the salad to make "Peachy Panzanella Salad".
- Spread pecans on a parchment lined baked°sheet. Coat with maple syrup using your hands to spread evenly. Sprinkle with cayenne pepper using more (up to ¼ teaspoon) if you want a bigger kick! Bake at 375 ° for approximately 5 minutes.
- Heat an iron cast grill pan or outdoor grill on medium heat. Cut each peach in half, removing the pit with a spoon. Spray the cut side with olive oil.
- Spray grill with olive oil. Place peaches on the grill, cut side down and cook for 3 minutes. Turn using a spatula or tongs and cook the other side for 3 minutes. Remove from grill and set aside.
- Arrange all salad ingredients in a bowl or on separate plates. Slice the peaches, top the salad with peaches and drizzle with fig dressing. Enjoy!
Notes
*Optional: I sometimes like to add bread for a "Peachy Panzanella Salad". Cube, season & bake bread cubes at 275 ° for 10 minutes or until crisp.
