Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, orange juice, raspberry vinegar, Dijon mustard, and black pepper until emulsified. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, gently combine the cubed ham, baby spinach, diced cantaloupe, diced peaches, and thinly sliced red onion. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss to ensure all ingredients are lightly coated. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Serve immediately to prevent the spinach from wilting.

For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the peaches lightly before dicing.
If raspberry vinegar is unavailable, substitute with red wine vinegar and a pinch of sugar.
To make this salad ahead of time, prepare the vinaigrette and chop the ingredients separately. Toss just before serving.

    I used grilled peaches instead of fresh, and it added a wonderful smoky note to the salad.
