We have a new fave salad at our house; it’s this Arugula Pear Salad with Ginger Vinaigrette. And as good as all the salad components are, it’s really the vinaigrette that steals the show!

Watermelon & Tomato Salad
So a few days ago I posted the most marvelous Peach Glazed Pork Tenderloin. It was a huge hit at our house. What wasn’t a hit was the Watermelon and Tomato Salad. So I tinkered (and after the tinkering) loved it. And I made it again, today, just to be sure.

Arugula, Goat Cheese & Beet Salad

Arugula & Peach Salad with Feta & Bacon

Or the glut of fruits & veggies at the store. When I saw the Colorado peaches (imho) some of the best peaches in the world, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with them.
