As much as I complain about summer, and the heat (mostly the heat), I do LOVE a good slaw or salad recipe! And I recently I thought about peaches. This is how most of my best recipes start actually. With a single ingredient!

Summer is always the best time for peaches! Have you ever tried to find them perfectly ripened any time other than? It’s so hard, nearly impossible. And while we are still in summer, it’s coming to a close so I wanted to seize my opportunity while I still had it! Lucky for you, this recipe is a two-fer!

Beet Slaw with Peach Vinaigrette

For your ingredients (this will be in 2 parts):

Part One – Peach Vinaigrette

It’s a recipe that brings the best of summer and fall all in one dish! Love a good multi-seasonal combo! One thing I will note, I included my ingredients above based on the way I created this recipe but it may be best to use any other beet except red since they tend to turn everything that color.
