Preparation of Summer Salad with Arugula, Peaches, and Cottage Cheese
Let’s see how to prepare the salad.
First, wash the peaches well and cut them into slices. Take half a cantaloupe and use a melon baller to create melon balls. Wash the arugula and dry it a little by patting it with paper towels. On a serving plate, start assembling the salad. First, place the arugula on the plate, add the peach slices and melon balls on top of the arugula. Decide how to arrange them, either in a row or scattered, as you prefer. Take the cottage cheese and with a spoon, place some of it between the fruit. In a small bowl, pour the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper, and mix well. Dress the salad by mixing it a little, and the salad is ready to serve.
Notes
I prepared each individual plate, but you can easily prepare a large platter and arrange the salad for all the guests, bringing serving utensils to the table. If you like, you can also add onions and basil.
