    Grilled Corn and Peach Salad

    Looking for the perfect side dish for your next grill night? Look no further! Grilled Corn and Peach Salad combines the season’s peak produce with the smoky fire of the grill. With farro and baby kale, this salad doesn’t have to be relegated to the side. Make it the star of the show with some grilled chicken or scallops. Tarragon has a pungent, bittersweet flavor that holds its own in the salad. If you can’t find tarragon, or don’t love its fennel-like notes, you can always substitute basil, dill, or any other soft herb you like.

    Grilled Corn and Peach Salad

    Servings 4

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup farro
    • 2 peaches segmented
    • 2 ears of corn
    • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
    • 1 avocado sliced
    • 3 cups baby kale

    Dressing

    • 6 tablespoons olive oil
    • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
    • 1 tablespoon cane sugar or agave nectar
    • 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon minced
    • ¼ teaspoon sea salt

    Instructions

    • In a medium saucepan, cover farro generously with water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a simmer. Cook for 20-30 minutes or until farro is tender. Drain and set aside to cool.
    • Meanwhile, prepare corn for grilling by pulling back husks to the base and removing the silk. Fold husks back into place and submerge corn in a large bowl of cold water to soak for at least 30 minutes. While soaking, preheat grill to medium-high heat.
    • Remove corn from water and shake off excess. Place the corn on the grill, and grill for 15 to 20 minutes, turning every five minutes, or until kernels are tender. Remove the husks and remove the kernels once cool enough to handle.
    • Combine corn kernels, farro, peaches, tomatoes, avocado, and kale.
    • Whisk together dressing ingredients and toss with salad. Adjust seasoning to taste and serve promptly.
    • Enjoy!

    Vegan Peach Coffee Cake

    Makes 9 squares

    Ingredients

    Cake:

    1 ¼ cup einkorn flour (or unbleached white flour or gluten free all purpose flour)

    ½ cup maple sugar

    1 teaspoon cinnamon

    1 teaspoon baking powder

    ¼ teaspoon sea salt

    Pinch of nutmeg

    1 cup almond milk

    1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

    ⅓ cup refined coconut oil

    1 teaspoon vanilla

    1 cup diced peaches

    Topping:

    ¾ cup einkorn flour (or unbleached white flour or gluten free all purpose flour)

    ⅓ cup chopped walnuts or pecans

    ⅓ cup packed brown sugar

    ¼ teaspoon sea salt

    1 teaspoon cinnamon

    Pinch nutmeg

    ¼ cup refined coconut oil

    Powdered sugar

    Method

    1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly brush or spray an 8 x 8-inch baking dish with refined coconut oil.

    2. To make the cake: In a large bowl, mix together the 1 ¼ cup of the einkorn flour, maple sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, sea salt, and nutmeg. In a small pot, place the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Stir and let sit for a few minutes. Add the coconut oil and warm the mixture on low heat until the oil melts. Whisk to blend. Pour the almond milk mixture into the einkorn flour mixture. Whisk to combine. Stir in the vanilla. Fold in the peaches.

    3. To make the crumb topping: In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the ¾ cup of the einkorn flour, walnuts, brown sugar, sea salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.  Add the melted coconut oil and mix until well combined and a nice crumbly texture. Use your hands if needed. Set aside.

    4. Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.

    5. Gently sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the cake batter.  Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the center of the cake springs back to the touch.  Let the cake cool, then dust with the powdered sugar by sifting it through a sieve over the cake. Cut into squares.

    6. Enjoy!
