A vibrant and flavorful grilled peach salad with smoky grilled peaches, fresh greens, tangy cheese, and a light dressing, perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

  1. 4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    Salt and pepper, to taste
    4 cups mixed greens (like arugula, spinach, or baby kale)
    1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese or feta cheese
    1/4 cup toasted pecans or walnuts (optional)
    1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
    Fresh basil or mint leaves, for garnish (optional)
    For the dressing:
    3 tablespoons olive oil
    1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
    1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
    1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
    Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat.

  1. Brush the peach halves with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  2. Place the peach halves, cut side down, on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the peaches are lightly charred and softened. Remove from the grill and let them cool slightly.
  3. While the peaches are grilling, prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until the dressing is smooth.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, crumbled cheese, toasted nuts (if using), and red onion (if using).
  5. Slice the grilled peaches into wedges and arrange them on top of the salad.
  6. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.
  7. Garnish with fresh herbs like basil or mint, if desired.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Add a protein like grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu to make the salad more filling.
  • Swap out the goat cheese for blue cheese or burrata for a different creamy texture.
  • For an extra crunch, toss in some crispy chickpeas or roasted seeds like sunflower or pumpkin seeds.
  • You can use a different fruit, such as grilled nectarines, apricots, or even pineapple, for variety.
  • Add some quinoa or farro to the salad for more substance and a hearty touch.
