Ingredients

For the Salad:

  • 4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for grilling)
  • 6 cups mixed salad greens (such as arugula, spinach, and baby kale)
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese or goat cheese
  • 1/4 cup toasted pecans or walnuts
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

For the Sweet Honey Vinaigrette:

  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar or white balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepping the Grill: Start by preheating your grill or grill pan over medium heat.
  2. This will help give the peaches those perfect grill marks and a nice, smoky flavor.

  3. Grilling the Peaches: Lightly brush the cut sides of the peach halves with olive oil.
  4. Once your grill is hot, place the peaches cut side down on the grill.

    Grill them for about 3-4 minutes, or until grill marks appear and the peaches start to soften.

    Then, carefully flip the peaches and grill the skin side for another 2 minutes.

    Remove them from the grill and let them cool a bit.

  5. Making the Vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

  7. Assembling the Salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed greens, sliced red onion, nuts, and cheese.
  8. Slice the grilled peaches into wedges and add them to the salad.

  9. Dressing the Salad: Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad ingredients and toss gently to combine.
  10. Serving: Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, omit the cheese or use a vegan alternative.
  • To store leftovers, keep the salad and dressing separate in the refrigerator.
  • The vinaigrette can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to a week.
