Peaches and Green Salad

Ingredients

• Vinaigrette*
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 2 teaspoons minced shallots
• Salad:
• 2 cups mixed greens
• 1/4 ounce thinly sliced prosciutto
• 1/2 cup sliced peaches
• 1/2 cup sliced green tomatoes
• 1 1/2 tablespoons toasted sliced almonds
• 1 1/2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese

Instructions

1. To prepare vinaigrette, combine first 5 ingredients in a small bowl, stirring well with a whisk. Reserve 1 tablespoon vinaigrette. Refrigerate remaining vinaigrette in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
2. To prepare salad, combine greens, prosciutto, peaches, and tomatoes; sprinkle with almonds and blue cheese. Add 1 tablespoon vinaigrette; toss well.
3. Top Tips for Tossing Sprinkle Lightly: Crumbly cheeses (100 calories per ounce), chopped nuts (50 calories per tablespoon), bacon (25 calories per slice), and dried fruits (25 calories per tablespoon) are tasty but calorie-dense. Add these at the end. Plate It: Serve your salad on a plate to keep all those tasty (and heavy) toppings from collecting in the bottom, as they might in a bowl. Dress with Less: A little of our dressing goes a long way. Start with 1 tablespoon; toss well. If the greens still seem dry, add more 1 teaspoon at a time.
