Seared Peach Pesto Salad
4 Saturn (or other variety) peaches, cut into bite sized pieces
4 heads baby gem lettuce, chopped
200g green beans, snipped into bite sized pieces
Garlic oil
Salt & pepper
Red pepper flakes
Soy sauce, tamari or coconut aminos
Hand full of pine nuts
2 Tbsp of your favorite pesto
Juice 1/2 large lemon
A couple teaspoons water
First, sear the green beans and then the peaches in a little garlic oil in large pan over medium-high. Hit with salt & pepper and a little soy at the very end.
Add the peaches and green beans to a large bowl when done.
Chuck a big handful of pine nuts into the still-warm pan and shake around to toast.
Chop or rip the lettuce and add to the bowl.
To make the dressing, shake the pesto, lemon juice, generous cracks pepper & salt and a little water to make the dressing.
Toss and garnish with the pine nuts.
I served mine with a protein and topped with a little extra spice and black pepper.
Serves 2 as a big lunch salad
