Summer and Salad are Made for each other

I am going to post two salads tonight and each of them served as a dinner with a side or two. I do still like to do vegetarian night, and our farmer's market has the best bread called "popeyes passion" with spinach and parmesan. Grill up a couple of slices of that and dinner is served. Here are two we have recently enjoyed:

Mixed Greens with Peaches

3 proscuitto slices
dressing (I made my own... lemon juice, honey, white balsamic, evoo and S&P)
salad bowl full of greens (again, I got these from my garden, but a bag of lettuce from the grocery would be the right quantity here)
2 peaches, sliced
1/2 c. pecans (I used Trader Joe's sweet & spicy ones and chopped them up)
crumbled goat cheese

Cook proscuitto in a skillet until browned and then crumble. Combine all ingredients and toss with dressing. Sprinkle with goat cheese.

Grapefruit and Avacado salad:

1 T. honey
1 T. grapefruit juice
2 t. evoo
s&p
greens (again, one bag from the grocery store)
1 can drained and sliced hearts of palm
1 grapefruit, sectioned
1 small avacado, sliced
crumbled queso fresco

Mix dressing. Toss greens with hearts of palm, grapefruit and avacado. Toss with dressing. Top with crumbled cheese. Enjoy!
