Peach & Arugula Salad

Amy Marschean (aka wife of Paul Gilding) has sent us another good recipe.

Another recipe from Bon Appetit. The August 2007
issue is truly a keeper for all its recipes for fresh produce. This
one is very easy.  I substituted half-and-half for the whipping cream
and it worked well.

Peach and Arugula Salad with Creamy Chive Dressing

Makes 6 servings.

ingredients  2 large ripe peaches
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons whipping cream
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh chives
12 cups (loosely packed) arugula (about 6 ounces)
preparation  Wash peaches, rubbing to remove fuzz. Cut in half;
remove pits. Thinly slice peaches. Place peach slices in large bowl. Add 1/2
tablespoon lemon juice; toss. Whisk 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice and
olive oil in small bowl. Whisk in cream, then chives. Season with salt
and pepper. Add arugula to bowl with peaches. Add dressing and toss.
Season with more salt and pepper, if desired, and serve.
