Recipe
This arugula and nectarine salad with a fresh basil dressing is pretty to serve and delicious for summer or fall. My sister sent me this recipe and told me it’s a “must try”. Nectarines are in season right now and the garden is full of basil, so this is a perfect time to try this salad with its beautiful fall colours of green and orange. If you are not a fan of arugula, your favourite greens can be substituted.
