Peach and Pistachio Salad

By LaLaCooks

Underripe peaches are fantastic in a salad because they're super-crunchy and just a bit sweet. Grace Parisi mixes them with jicama, arugula and salty pistachios, then dresses the salad with a spicy chile dressing.

Ingredients

• 1 large shallot, thinly sliced
• 1 large hot red chile, thinly sliced
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 2 1/2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
• 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• Salt and freshly ground pepper
• 3 underripe medium peaches, very thinly sliced
• 1 small jicama (about 8 ounces), peeled and cut into 1/8-inch-thick matchsticks
• 3/4 cup shelled, salted pistachios, coarsely chopped
• 2 cups baby arugula
