You may find yourself using this puréed apricot dressing and marinade for other salads as well. It’s fruity, minty, and very summery.
Tip: To toast almonds, spread on a baking sheet and bake at 350ºF until golden brown and fragrant, stirring once or twice (5-7 minutes).
Ingredients
Marinade & Dressing:
- ½ cup dried apricots
- ½ bunch mint
- 1 tsp. orange zest
- ½ cup orange juice
- 2 Tbsp. honey
- 4 tsp. Dijon mustard
- 4 tsp. red wine vinegar

- ¼ cup olive oil
Salad:
- 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped
- 6 peaches, pitted and cut into wedges

Directions
- Soak dried apricots in hot water for 10 minutes. Drain and place apricots in a food processor or blender. Add remaining marinade/dressing ingredients and process until smooth. Reserve 1 cup for the dressing.
