I wanted to make a salad that celebrated peaches because they have been so good this year; we canโt get enough of them! So, I made this juicy peach chicken salad. They peaches were firm, juicy and incredibly flavorful. Iโve been buying them at our local farmerโs market or a local orchard store; both have really good prices for organic peaches.
It is important to buy organically grown peaches because they come in #4 on the dirty dozen list of fruits/vegetables with the highest pesticide residues.
This peach chicken salad recipe is based on one by the same name in The Primal Blueprint Cookbook. I upped the curry flavour more than the original recipe, but if you like curry, it could easily take even more. The original also called for 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves. This gave a hint of clove barely, and I wasnโt that wild about it, so I have left it out of my version of the recipe. This is a delicious salad that we would make again!
