Our favorite thing about August? Tomatoes and peaches! Well, that’s two things. Whatever. They’re both in season and fresh, juicy and delicious. We bought a ton last Saturday at the local farmers market. That means peaches and tomatoes for every meal.
Sound like an odd combination? No. They paired swimmingly in this arugula salad with sheep cheese, toasted pecans and balsamic glaze.
Big props to the other for developing this recipe. All we did was snap the photo.
