  • 5 ounces Fresh Raspberries
  • 1 tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
  • For the Salad
  • 1.5 cups Baby Arugula

  2. Place raspberries in a pot on medium to high heat. Stir as needed for just a couple minutes so that they don't burn, until they are hot enough to mash.
  3. Mash with a potato masher or fork, until all raspberries are broken up.
  4. Add balsamic and lemon juice. Mix well.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool.
  6. For a smooth vinaigrette, place in a blender to puree and break down seeds.
  1. For the Salad
  2. Slice peaches in half, remove pits, and grill for a few minutes on medium to high heat to get some grill marks, and heat up. The cooking process will bring out extra sweetness in the fruit, which makes it extra yummy.
  3. Chop, slice, and de-pit all fruit as required in ingredient list.
  4. Add all ingredients (arugula, fruit, pistachios, goat cheese) to a large bowl.
  5. Toss to evenly combine ingredients.
  6. Dress with cooled vinaigrette dressing.

Just updating my original review...
This recipe turned out very well & was beautifully plated on a platter. I did not mix it up...looked to busy for my taste. I used a mix of field greens and added my cooled grilled peaches, red halved cherries, blueberries, and raspberries. I didn't have the orange slices but they weren't really missed.
Next time.. I did add plain whole yogurt to the raspberry sauce which made it a bit creamy and brought the salad together. I drizzled it over the salad just before serving. Very attractive and enjoyed by my foodie family! Thank you for sharing this recipe, Elizabeth!
