Step 1: Prepare the Greens
In a large salad bowl, combine the fresh rocket (arugula) and torn basil leaves. Toss them together gently to create a fresh green base for your salad.
Step 2: Add the Peaches
Lay the sliced white peaches on top of the mixed greens. The peaches will add a juicy and sweet flavor that complements the greens beautifully.
Step 3: Include Feta Cheese
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the salad. This will introduce a creamy texture and a salty flavor that pairs well with the sweetness of the peaches.
Step 4: Add Crunch with Pistachios
Scatter the roughly chopped pistachios across the salad. This will add a delightful crunch and enhance the overall texture of the dish.
Step 5: Make the Dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined. This dressing will provide a sweet and tangy flavor to the salad.
