Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium peaches
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 5 cups arugula
- 4 ounces goat cheese
- 0.5 cup slivered almonds, toasted
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).
While the grill is heating, wash the peaches thoroughly, then cut them in half and remove the pits.
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper.
Brush the cut side of each peach half with the olive oil mixture.
Place the peaches on the grill, cut side down, and grill for about 4-5 minutes, until grill marks appear and the peaches are slightly softened. Turn them over and grill for an additional 4-5 minutes.
Once grilled, remove the peaches from the grill and let them cool slightly. Then, slice each half into wedges.
In a large salad bowl, combine the arugula, goat cheese, and toasted slivered almonds.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar and honey to create the dressing.
Add the grilled peaches and dressing to the salad bowl. Toss gently to combine the ingredients.
Sprinkle the fresh chopped basil over the salad as a finishing touch.
Serve immediately, allowing guests to enjoy the contrasting flavors and textures of the warm, juicy peaches against the creamy goat cheese and crunchy almonds.
