Peach, Fig, and Arugula Salad with Spicy Lemon Honey Vinaigrette
This salad is a celebration of taste and texture. There are juicy peaches and luscious figs tossed with bitter arugula and studded with sweet little pieces of date. The vinaigrette ties it all together with the hit of sriracha and lemon. The chopping and slicing takes a bit of time, but the result is worth it.
