Ingredients

  • 3 fresh peaches divided
  • 1 cup olive oil
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 2 Tablespoons packed light brown sugar
  • ½ cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 1/2 tsp whole grain mustard
  • 2 heads butter lettuce rinsed, dried, roughly chopped and chilled
  • ½ cup Manchego cheese shaved
  • 1 cup pistachio nutmeats divided
  • mini orange tomatoes optional

Instructions

  • For the vinaigrette, peel and pit one fresh peach and place in a blender. Add olive oil, salt, sugar, and vinegar and blend to combine. Once smooth, turn off the blender and add mustard and ½ cup of pistachio nutmeats. Pulse the blender a few times to emulsify, leaving pieces of the pistachios intact.
  • Place the cold lettuce in a serving bowl and sprinkle the shaved cheese and remaining pistachios on top. Pit and slice the remaining two fresh peaches and add to the salad. Serve the dressing on the side or toss lightly just before serving, as butter lettuce will quickly wilt once dressed.
