Apple Peach Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette
Do you ever find yourself not liking the idea of something, rather than the thing itself? For instance, I don’t like the idea of tea, nor salads. When my husband asks “Can I make you a tea?” – most of the time, my instinctual response is, no thank you. However, I think for a second…wait I like tea, I like exotic teas. The same goes for salads. I’ll make them, but I never get excited over them… except when I begin eating one. Then, I’m glad that I am. It’s a strange thing and I wonder if anyone else finds themselves doing the same over something?
So I do love salads! Particularly flavourful ones, like this one – made up of apples, peaches, goat’s cheese, greek olives, and drizzled with balsamic vinaigrette. Wildly delicious!
