Some days only a salad will satisfy you. Make it a salad with fruit and bacon; yes, some fresh greens should be present too - and pretty soon, salads will be fun, explorative, and intriguing.
With millions of recipes and a plethora of ingredients to be bought/harvested/foraged, it will be hard to choose just one as a favorite, but we believe this recipe is a great start, particularly if you love peaches.
Peaches are nice in smoothies, crumbles, and sauces, yet they are lovely in a simple salad, nicely complementing the salty protein of pork origin, bacon. Peaches are a member of the rose family, as are apricots, almonds, and plums, and it is not just the fruit you can eat. The flowers are edible as well! You can sense them by their aroma, and you can recognize them by feeling too.
Covered in fuzz they are, but if you would like to remove the fuzzy skin, just follow this simple tip: bring a pot of water to boil, drop the entire peach in for 30 seconds, remove with a spoon, and place into an ice water bath, from there the peeling should be easy and accomplished without the use of a knife.
If you feel the need, or the craving, to add a skewer full of protein, then we suggest trying some Key West grilled chicken for the most sublime match.
