Peachy keen

I've posted about local Ontario strawberries before, but I don't think I have publicly declared my love for Ontario peaches. Don't worry Georgia, you still have ah-mazing peaches, but they don't taste as good when they're trucked 1000 miles up here. Local is where it's at...Niagara peaches are in fine form this summer and I am planning to get my fill!

We bought a basket on Sunday and they looked good but were very hard...give them 3 days without a/c and they are PERFECT right now!  Last night I made a salad with peaches, caramelized onions, and a simple white balsamic vinaigrette.



So tasty and smooth, served with chicken for dinner (some prosecco would have been the perfect accompaniment now that I think about it!). I used what I had on hand (romaine and red leaf lettuce), but next time I would throw in some more bitter greens like frisee, and definitely some peppery-arugula. Blue cheese would top it off nicely.

Hopefully I've given you some inspiration for a deliciously locally inspired lunch or dinner today!
