Ingredients

2 -3 ripe peaches, sliced or cut in chunks (no need to remove skin)
1 cup shredded celeriac ((about 1/2 celeriac peeled and shredded with box grater))
4 radishes, sliced
6 cups lettuce greens Note 1
Garnish and other add-in ideas: chopped/sliced avocado, feta or goat cheese, pomegranate seeds, 1/2 cup cooked quinoa, herbs, etc.
3/4 cup -1 cup walnuts Note 2
1 teaspoon lemon zest (from 1 small lemon or 1/2 large))
1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar Note 3
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon maple syrup
salt and pepper to taste ((I used about 1/2 tsp kosher salt and 1/4 tsp pepper))
Optional: 1-2 tsp of chopped thyme or chives
1/2 cup olive oil

Steps:

TOAST WALNUTS: Do this first. While nuts are toasting, do your chopping and cutting. Heat oven or toaster oven to 350F. Place walnuts in pan. Roast for 8-11 minutes until fragrant. Let cool.
ASSEMBLE SALAD: Place greens on a platter or wide mouthed bowl. Scatter peaches and radishes on top and any other garnish/fillings you're using.
MAKE WALNUT DRESSING: Add all walnut dressing ingredients to food processor. Pulse until walnuts are coarsely chopped. If you don't have a processor, chop walnuts, add other ingredients except oil, then whisk in oil until well blended. Drizzle dressing over peach salad.
