Summer Grilled Peach Salad
All I have to say about this salad is... yum!!!! Such a crowd pleaser.
If you are limited on time you don't have to grill the peaches, but it definitely adds a nice touch if you do this extra step! Also If you don't have arugula you can use baby spinach or another dark leafy salad green.
Here's how to make it:
Ingredients:
3 large handfuls of arugula (rocket) leaves.
1 large ripe peach (you can use white or yellow)
1/3 cup toasted pecans
1/4 cup goats cheese (chèvre)
For Dressing:
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped mint leaves
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
Directions:
Halve peach and remove the stone. Slice into 8-10 slices.
Grill peach slices on a medium/hot grill for approximately 90 seconds each side, or until it starts to brown and caramelize. Remove from grill and allow to cool slightly.
Combine all salad dressing ingredients together in a cup or small bowl and put aside.
Add arugula and pecans to a large salad bowl. Toss these together with the dressing.
Crumble goats cheese and sprinkle this over the salad. Finally add the peach slices on top.
Serve and enjoy!
