Peaches and Goat Cheese Salad with Curly Endive

Peaches and Goat Cheese Salad with Curly Endive

basil, peaches, and endive join together to make a very easy, and very tasty salad. The sweetness of the peaches, and the rich fatiness of the goat cheese pair oh so nicely with the curly endive, and the basil adds some warmth and spice.
