Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fresh peaches
- 5 cups baby spinach leaves
- 2 cups arugula
- 1 avocado
- 0.5 cup slivered almonds
- 0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Cut the peaches in half and remove the pits. Lightly brush the cut sides with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Place the peaches cut side down on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes, until grill marks appear and peaches are slightly softened. Remove from grill and let them cool slightly.
While the peaches cool, prepare the salad base by combining the baby spinach and arugula in a large serving bowl.
Slice the grilled peaches into wedges and add them to the greens.
Pit and slice the avocado, then add it to the salad along with the slivered almonds and crumbled feta cheese.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, lemon juice, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to make the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine all ingredients without crushing the peaches or avocado.
Serve immediately for the freshest flavor and texture.
