As promised – the Avocado Peach Summer Salad from IG live a few weeks back is officially on the website and printer-friendly! And it is truly perfection. Summer on a platter.

Consider this Avocado Peach Summer Salad the WGC house salad of summer. It’s my definition of perfection. Butter lettuce – perfect base. Fresh peaches and nectarines – mandatory in summer. Persian cucumbers – light and crunchy. Summer avocado – creamy and delish. Lemon Parm dressing – icing on the cake.

This goes with just about everything under the sun. Chicken, steak, fish, tofu, tempeh…. pasta, rice… you name it! It’s the salad of summer and if you start now, you’ve got plenty of time to soak it in for the next 2 months until peaches and nectarines are out of season. And here’s a link for the fall version once you run out of stone fruit! Ready, set, go!

And just a word to the wise – the dressing is top notch. So feel free to make a larger batch and store it in the fridge to use all week long! Just let it come to room temp before giving it a stir and using it throughout the week.
