- 1 teaspoon sugar maple syrup, or agave
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Properly wash all your produce for the recipe with Veggie Wash®

- Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss until evenly coated.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Notes
- Choose peaches that are ripe but still firm enough to hold their shape.
- English cucumbers work especially well because they have fewer seeds.
- For extra protein, add a drained can of chickpeas.
- For a more substantial side dish, add 1 cup cooked and cooled quinoa.
- A sprinkle of chopped pistachios or toasted almonds adds a nice crunch.
