Greens, peaches, goat cheese, and walnuts tossed together and topped with Brianna’s poppy seed dressing:
Holy moly. DEFINITELY making this again! It’s refreshing, light, and has a great balance of savory and sweet. Mmm. Goat cheese pairs so well with fruit- the tartness from the goat’s milk with the sweetness of apples, dried cranberries, or figs is amazing. Sometimes as a snack, I will have goat cheese and jam on crackers. So I thought, peaches… why not?
In general, homemade dressings are far healthier than bottled. So… many… additives. Briana’s is an all-natural brand, but it still uses some refined oils (canola) and sugar. If you make your own poppy seed dressing at home, try to use olive or another unrefined oil, and honey instead of sugar. Hm. I should add this to my list o’ things to make! In the meantime, here are some yummy-looking made-from-scratch poppy seed dressings (and some salads to go with them- lots of fruit gets paired with poppy seed dressing!):

I still have tons of peaches. And blueberries (the muffins didn’t quite finish them off). I see a blueberry peach cobbler in my very near future (as in, I am going to go start making it right now. No time to waste! Peaches too ripe!!!!! Ah, the stressors of summer vacation.) Not a fan of poppy seed dressing? Try using this creamy maple balsamic dressing on this salad. Enjoy!
