Peach And Berry Salad Recipes

Steps:

• For dressing, in a small bowl, whisk the first five ingredients. In a large salad bowl, combine the romaine, onion, feta cheese and peaches. Drizzle with dressing and toss gently. Sprinkle with raspberries and blackberries. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Bring medium pot of water to boil. Add peaches and blanch 30 seconds. Drain. Transfer to medium bowl, cover with cold water and cool. Drain. Peel peaches and slice. Place in medium bowl. Add all remaining ingredients and mix to blend. (Can be prepared 1 hour ahead. Cover and let stand at room temperature.)

Steps:

• Combine the strawberries, sugar, and 1/4 cup of water in a large saucepan and cook uncovered over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Add 2 half-pints of the raspberries and all of the blueberries and peaches and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches a simmer. Simmer for 1 minute. Off the heat, stir in the remaining raspberries and the framboise.
• Slice the bread into 1/2-inch-thick slices and remove the crusts. In the bottom of a 7 1/2-inch round by 3-inch high soufflé or baking dish, ladle about 1/2 cup of the cooked fruit mixture. Arrange slices of bread on top in a pattern (this will become the top when the pudding is unmolded) and then add more fruit mixture to saturate. Continue adding bread, cutting it to fit the mold, and fruit. Finish with bread and cooked fruit, using all of the fruit and syrup.
• Place a sheet of plastic wrap loosely over the pudding. Find a plate approximately the same diameter as the inside of the mold and place it on top. Weight the mold with a heavy can and refrigerate overnight.
• Just before serving, run a knife around the outside of the pudding and unmold it upside down onto a serving plate. Serve in wedges with whipped cream.
• Whip the cream in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. When it starts to thicken, add the sugar and vanilla. Continue to whip until it forms stiff peaks. Serve cold.

Steps:

• Soak 1/2 thinly sliced red onion in ice water for 10 minutes; drain and pat dry. Whisk 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar and 2 teaspoons each honey and Dijon mustard in a large bowl; whisk in 1/4 cup olive oil. Add the onion, 6 peaches (cut into wedges), 1/2 cup chopped candied walnuts and 1/4 cup each fresh basil and mint. Season with salt and pepper and toss.

Steps:

• In large bowl, stir together orange juice and sugar. Stir in peaches and raspberries.
• Divide fruit mixture evenly among four 6-oz custard cups. Cover; freeze at least 1 hour.
• About 30 minutes before serving, remove custard cups from freezer. Let stand until slightly thawed. Transfer fruit mixture to four 8-oz champagne saucers or margarita glasses. Pour sparking wine over fruit. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Mix strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries together in a bowl. Sprinkle with sugar.

Steps:

• Make the vinaigrette: Using a whisk, combine mustard, vinegar, olive oil, garlic and sugar in a small bowl, and set aside.
• Either in a large serving bowl or in 4 individual serving bowls, arrange spinach, onion, peaches and pine nuts.
• Drizzle with vinaigrette just before serving and sprinkle with cracked black pepper.
