When going from summer to autumn, sometimes it's hard to choose what season to cook for! With this autumn salad, you don't have to choose. A simple change in produce (grilled peaches to apples) takes this from summer to fall in a snap. We love the fresh, simple ingredients that come together to create something amazing. The best way to make this salad shine is to use the limited-release, 3-Year Velvet Blue.
Ingredients
Arugula
Shaft's 3-Year Velvet Blue
Peaches or Apples
