How do I ripen my peaches quickly?

You can place them in a paper bag and fold it over to close it. Let them sit on the counter for a day or two and they will be ready to eat.

Should I peel my peaches for this salad?

Peeling the peaches is optional. You can peel them if you don't want the skin or if it's too tough to chew. Most ripe peaches should be easy to peel.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350F (175C).
Spread sliced almonds on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 6-8 minutes or until slightly golden. Be careful, sliced almonds burn easily! Set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, fine sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
To the same bowl, add shredded romaine lettuce, diced cucumbers, red onion, peaches, avocado, and sliced almonds. (alternatively you can divide all ingredients between bows and drizzle with the dressing)
Toss everything together gently to mix well with the dressing.
Mix in crumbled soft goat cheese or add after dividing the salad between plates.
Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Toasted almonds: Preheat your oven to 350F. Spread your raw almond slices on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until slightly golden. Be careful, sliced almonds burn easily!

Goat cheese: Soft goat cheese tends to mix with the dressing and melt into the salad easily so if you want it to stay intact when serving, add it to the salad after you plate it.

Storing: Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
