Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole peaches
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 6 cups mixed lettuce greens
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 2 tablespoons almonds (slivered or sliced, toasted)
- 1 ounce feta cheese (optional)
Instructions
Wash and dry the peaches. Cut them into halves and remove the pits.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the unsalted butter.
Place the peach halves cut-side down in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened and caramelized.
Drizzle the honey over the peaches and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, then add the balsamic vinegar. Swirl the pan to coat the peaches evenly in the glaze. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to make the vinaigrette.
Arrange the mixed lettuce greens on a large serving platter or individual salad plates.
Gently place the warm peaches on top of the lettuce greens.
Sprinkle the toasted almonds over the salad, and if desired, crumble feta cheese on top for an extra layer of flavor.
Drizzle the vinaigrette evenly over the salad just before serving. Serve immediately and enjoy!
