Maple Roasted Peach Salad

While people in other places may be sipping pumpkin lattes, here in Miami it’s 90 steamy degrees outside. We’re simply not ready to give up on Summer. So let’s have some yummy Maple Roasted Peach Salad and leave the pumpkins for October.

I was cruising through Safeway today and saw these delicious white peaches on sale. They are sweeter and have a more delicate flavor than the yellow ones. Usually, I roast them, grill them, or just eat them as a snack.

When I make salads, I love adding fruit and nuts. When you roast it with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, it brings out their natural sweetness and makes them tender.

My husband usually places them in the fridge for a few hours and mixes it with frozen grapes. The contrast of flavors and textures is awesome.

The vinaigrette used is a maple mustard one. It has few ingredients and it’s sweet, tangy and so delicious. I always keep a small bottle in my fridge whenever the mood strikes.

Behind this Maple Roasted Peach Salad, is a great cause. You see, Safeway supermarkets all over the country are launching Hunger Is Campaign.

To participate just buy products from these brands during the month of September and automatically Safeway will donate 10 cents per item purchased. Their goal is to earn $1 million.

Personally, I used Safeway’s organic brand for the cranberries and the green mix to participate in the program.

If you prefer, you can also donate at the cash register. Believe it or not, hunger is a huge problem in the US. So many kids go to bed with their bellies empty. Thanks so Safeway and your donation, we can decrease the problem.

I hope you can try this delicious Maple Roasted Peach Salad at home. If you do, please upload a pic on Instagram and tag me @Livingsweetmoments or use the hashtag #LivingSweet. I promise to repost it.
