Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 ripe peaches
- 2 green bell peppers
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups baby arugula
Instructions
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Cut the green bell peppers into quarters, removing the seeds and stems.
Brush the green bell peppers with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and grill them for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are lightly charred. Remove from the grill and let cool slightly.
While the peppers cool, slice the peaches into thin wedges, about 1/2-inch thick.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Once the grilled peppers are cool enough to handle, slice them into thin strips.
In a large salad bowl, combine the sliced peaches, grilled green peppers, red onion, arugula, and crumbled feta cheese.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
Sprinkle the chopped mint leaves over the top as a garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
