During these warm summer months, I love to serve a flavorful main course salad for dinner. You need little else besides maybe a slice of garlic bread and a glass of wine to with a salad like this one—an easy weeknight dinner indeed! I based this one on a recipe I saw in a recent issue of Martha Stewart Living magazine; peppery baby arugula topped with quick-pickled peaches and tiny round of fresh mozzarella cheese.
Sounds good already, right? Their version also includes a thin, fried chicken cutlet, but I just couldn’t pass up these plump individual turkey tenderloins I saw at the store instead. And to lighten it up even move, I baked the tenderloins with a flavorful topping of mustard and crunchy Panko instead of frying them. (This salad would also be great topped with strips of marinated skirt steak, or maybe even a some seared scallops.)

Ingredients:

Directions:
- (For my version with the baked turkey tenderloins, season the turkey tenderloins with salt and pepper. Coat with a grainy mustard, Panko and some dried herbs. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 30-25 minutes, or until cooked through and tender. Serve over the arugula salad*)
