Preparation
  1. In a mixing jar or bowl, combine tahini, white balsamic vinegar, and granulated garlic to create a luscious dressing.
  2. Gradually whisk in 2-3 tablespoons of water until the mixture is smooth and creamy, adjusting the consistency to your liking.
  3. Season with salt and pepper, tasting as you go. Set aside, allowing the flavors to meld while you prepare the salad.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, layer in the fresh greens, cooked quinoa, diced peaches, and sliced Persian cucumbers.
  5. Scatter roasted, salted almonds and crumbled goat cheese over the top for added crunch and creaminess.
  6. Finely chop fresh basil and mint leaves, then sprinkle them in. Toss the salad gently to combine all the vibrant ingredients.
  7. Drizzle the creamy dressing over the Peach and Goat Cheese Salad, ensuring everything is coated evenly.
  8. Using tongs or two large spoons, toss the salad gently, being cautious not to crush the delicate ingredients.
  9. Serve immediately to preserve the crispness of the greens.
