This pretty salad board with greens, marinated peaches and fresh summer veggies is perfect for an evening outdoors--or serve it for a light, summery lunch. The creamy dressing can be made ahead to make assembly a breeze. Feel free to add additional vegetables to the board to make the most of all that summer has to offer.

1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill
1 clove garlic, grated
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon honey
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground pepper

Marinated Peaches

2 medium peaches, pitted and sliced
½ small shallot, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
¼ teaspoon kosher salt

Salad Board

12 cups mixed baby salad greens

1 pint cherry tomatoes
½ English cucumber, sliced
8 ounces string beans, trimmed and blanched (see Tip)

Directions

To prepare dressing: Whisk buttermilk, mayonnaise, yogurt, lemon juice, scallion, dill, garlic, mustard, honey, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
To prepare marinated peaches: Combine peaches, shallot, vinegar, parsley and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside to marinate, stirring occasionally.
To arrange salad board: Place greens, corn, chopped eggs and bacon in individual bowls. Arrange the bowls on a large tray or platter. Set an extra bowl on the board for the peaches. Pour the dressing into a small jar and add it to the board.
Arrange tomatoes, cucumbers, string beans, radishes, goat cheese and avocado around the bowls. Place the peaches in the remaining bowl. Serve immediately.

Tips

Equipment: Large tray or platter

To make ahead: Prepare dressing (Step 1) and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

Tip: To blanch string beans, add them to a pot of boiling water and cook until just tender-crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a bowl of ice water to cool.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
