Peach Pistachio and Bacon Salad

Sweltering days call for cool salads. A ripe peach, meaty pistachios and salty crispy bacon come together in an enticing salad. Peach salads are a favorite. A tree ripened juicy peach is all you need. Crispy bacon could be eliminated but you will miss that salty component. And those green plump pistachios add a unique flavor.  Use your choice of dressing,. It should be a simple vinaigrette or just a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. I use a truffle balsamic glaze. 

This salad is truly a quick fix. Perfect for a hot summer day.
