Instructions
Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, combine arugula, sliced peaches, goat cheese (or feta), toasted pecans (or walnuts), and red onion. Add basil if using.

Swap goat cheese with feta for a saltier bite.
Toasting nuts enhances their flavor and crunch.
Add grilled chicken or shrimp for extra protein.
