Peach, Fig and Arugula Salad with Spicy Lemon Honey Vinaigrette
Vinaigrette:
1 garlic clove, minced
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon sriracha
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup olive oil
Salad:
5 oz. Arugula, rinsed and dried
4 peaches, pitted and sliced
8 figs quartered
1/3 cup pitted dates, coarsely chopped
1 small shallot thinly sliced
Prepare the vinaigrette: Combine the garlic, lemon juice, honey, sriracha, and salt in a lidded jar. Add the oil and shake well until incorporated.
Assemble the salad: Spread the arugula on a large platter.
Place the peaches, figs, dates and shallots in a small bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of the vinaigrette, then place on top of the arugula. Add nuts or cheese if you like - walnuts, pecans, goat or blue cheese goes well with this.

Guided tour of Salzburg & Vienna
Thurs 5/21/2020 7:30 PM - 8:00 PM
Watch on Facebook!
Vacation from home, join Jeanne Schnupp for a guided tour of Salzburg & Vienna. For many Americans, the
Sound of Music
was our first introduction to Austria and especially the starring city of Salzburg. There is so much more to this country than its association with a Hollywood production. It was Marie Antoinette’s childhood playground and home base for the rulers of most of central Europe, the Hapsburgs and the Holy Roman Empire. Seventeenth century carillon chimes, trick fountains, imperial jewels and Roman ruins – so much packed into one country!
