This elegant, one-of-a-kind salad is virtually indescribable.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 275 degrees and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, add pecans, pumpkin seeds, maple syrup, olive oil, vanilla, salt and pepper, and mix well to coat. Spread onto baking sheet and bake for 35 minutes, rotating pan halfway through.
  3. Remove from oven and let cool. Once cooled, break into small, bite-sized pieces. (To speed up the cooling process, place in freezer for a few minutes.)
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together all Vanilla Balsamic Vinaigrette ingredients and set aside.
  5. On a large platter, assemble arugula, cucumbers, blueberries and peaches. Sprinkle feta cheese over top and toss gently with vinaigrette. Serve and enjoy immediately (salad will get soggy as it sits).
