Roasted Peach and Nectarine Salad

March 19, 2012 By Joi Sigers

Roasted Peach and Nectarine Salad Recipe

I’m not sure there’s a bigger fan of fruit anywhere than me.  I simply can’t get enough of this particular food group. My family actually has to keep an eye on me, otherwise I’ll throw fruit into everything from oatmeal and cereal to salads and pasta.

When I saw this recipe for Roasted Peach and Nectarine Salad, my eyes nearly popped out of my head. Peaches are a personal favorite, so this recipe had me at “hello.”  In all seriousness, everyone should eat more fruit. Fruit is insanely healthy and, let’s face it, if we’re eating fruit, we aren’t eating fatty, fried, sugary alternatives.  Getting more fruit into your daily diet is a cinch. Simply have bowls of your favorite fruit handy for snacks. Grapes, cantaloupe, peaches, berries, apples, oranges – they all make delicious snacks.

Also, throw your favorite fruit into vanilla yogurt, smoothies, cereal, oatmeal, and even salads. Oranges, peaches, strawberries, and nectarines are excellent in tossed salads. Give the recipe below a try asap and you’ll see what I mean.

Roasted Peach and Nectarine Salad Recipe

Prep: 20 min. | Bake: 20 min. | Makes 6 servings

 

4 Tbsp. unsalted butter
2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
2 Tbsp. honey
3 peaches, peeled, halved, pitted
3 nectarines, peeled, halved, pitted
1/2 (6-oz.) package fresh mozzarella,(cut into 1/2-inch cubes)
2 cups arugula
2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper
6 prosciutto slices

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine butter, lemon juice, and honey in a small bowl. Microwave on HIGH 90 seconds or until butter is melted. Place peaches and nectarines in a baking dish; pour over butter mixture, tossing to coat. Arrange, cut sides down, in a single layer.

Bake at 400 degrees for 15minutes, brushing with juices after 10 minutes. (If the juices begin to burn, add a little water and cover the pan loosely with foil.) Remove from oven, and turn peaches cut sides up. Place a cube of mozzarella cheese in center of each peach and nectarine half. Return to oven, and bake 5 more minutes or until cheese begins to melt. Reserve juices.

Toss arugula with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange arugula on a serving platter, and top with prosciutto; top with peaches and nectarines. Drizzle peaches and nectarines with 1 to 2 tablespoons reserved pan juices.

Perfectly Peachy Fresh Fruit Salad Recipe

August 2, 2010 By Joi Sigers

I’m a total fruit fanatic and can never have enough fruit on hand. It’s healthy, delicious, fragrant, and a bowl of fruit (nature’s dessert) just makes a whole room look more attractive.

Below is one of my favorite recipes for fruit salad.  Feel free to experiment with different fruits, but don’t even think about leaving out the peaches.

Fresh Fruit Salad Recipe

2 Peaches
2 Apples
2 Nectarines
2 cups Strawberries
1 cup Red Seedless Grapes
1 cup White Seedless Grapes
2 Bananas
1 pkg. Peach Glaze
3 Tbs. Honey
3 Tbs. Lemon Juice

Use fresh fruit – very important! Slice and place the fruit combination into a large bowl. Combine the peach glaze, honey, and lemon juice. Pour over fruit and mix gently but well.

Keep refrigerated and just TRY not to eat it all at once!  I kid you now when I say this can easily pass for dessert.

Peach-y Snacks and The Olympics: Golden!

I bought some amazingly delicious peaches at a local stand here in Owensboro, Kentucky last week. They were juicy and just freaking perfect.

I went old school with most of them, cutting them up (leaving the skin on) and tossing them on a plate with Cottage Cheese. Yum. Even my daughters eat fruit like this. But late one night, while watching the Olympics, I cut one up, put it into a bowl and poured heavy whipping cream on top. Then I sprinkled a little granola on top with a couple of shakes of cinnamon.
Michael Phelps and I both came away with Gold.

I also love peaches cut up in great vanilla ice cream (Bryer’s or Blue Bunny) served with a slice of pound cake. With or without a little Cool Whip, it makes for an amazing dessert.

Grab some peaches the next time you see them staring at you in the produce aisle or from a roadside stand. Never pass up a chance to take a big bite out of summer!
