Earlier this summer, I interviewed Diana Rodgers. Diana and I met a couple of years ago in Massachusetts (though, coincidentally are from the same town on Long Island, NY), produced an award-winning film together, and share an obsession with real food and sustainability.
I took a trip out to Diana’s farm to get some ingredients for a fresh summer salad and came back with the most delicious produce: arugula, radishes, and mint. In summer salads, produce is the star of the show and this arugula and grilled peach salad with mint is no exception. The best part? It takes less than 15 minutes to make. Simplicity for the win!
