Ingredients
5ozarugula
2nectarines
1/3cuppecans
3ozfeta cheese
1/2lemon
1tspDijon mustard
sea salt
pepper
1/4cupolive oil
Balsamic reduction / glaze
Instructions
Cut the nectarines in half along the stones then turn the halves in opposite directions to remove from the stone. If the nectarines are too ripe this won't work and you'll have to cut off pieces directly from the whole fruit.
Use a heavy knife to chop the pecans coarsely.
Use your hands to crumble the feta into small pieces.
Add the juice of half a lemon to a sealable jar, then add Dijon mustard, sea salt and pepper to taste, and olive oil and then shake until the dressing is well combined and creamy.
Add arugula to a salad bowl, top with sliced nectarines, chopped pecans, crumbled feta. Drizzle with dressing and mix only minutes before serving. Then drizzle balsamic reduction on top at the end without mixing in.
