Directions

Prepare the dressing as described here, but put the mint and basil aside. Stir in the minced shallot.
Add the peaches, arugula, feta and pistachios. Just before serving, add the herbs and toss to combine.

Chef Tips

One 5-ounce box of baby arugula = about 7 loosely packed cups.

Wash “pre-washed” greens a second time to be on the safe side, especially if on an immunosuppressed diet.
