directions

Step 1

Slowly reduce the beer to 1/4 cup (60 mL). Let it cool in a separate bowl. Add everything but vegetable oil and salt and pepper, whisk together and then slowly drizzle with oil. Check for flavour before adding salt and pepper; determine the amount of seasoning using your own judgement.

Step 2

Take out the Arugula 15 mins before serving. Pit the peaches and cut into half moon shapes. Then cut the tomatoes in half, and finely cut the red onions.

Step 3

Toss the red onions and arugula with dressing just so the leaves shine with vinaigrette. Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper and place on salad.

Step 4

Finally sprinkle with goat cheese and almonds. Then, you can drizzle a little more dressing over the goat cheese and tomatoes.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 375ºF (190ºC). Mix the almonds, honey and salt. Then, on a baking sheet lined with parchment, roast the almonds for 15-18 mins and let cool.
