Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large fresh peaches, halved and pitted
  • 5 ounces baby arugula
  • 4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup pecans, toasted or candied
  • 1/4 small red onion, very thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Wash and dry the peaches, slice in half, and remove the pits. Brush cut sides with olive oil.
  3. Place peaches cut-side down on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear.
  4. Remove peaches from the grill and let cool before slicing into wedges.
  5. Toast pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, balsamic glaze, salt, and pepper.
  7. In a large bowl, combine arugula and red onion, then toss with half of the dressing.
  8. Layer grilled peach wedges, crumbled goat cheese, and toasted pecans on top.
  9. Drizzle remaining dressing and balsamic glaze over the salad and serve immediately.

Notes

Ensure peaches are firm but ripe for best grilling results. Store leftovers in separate containers to maintain freshness.
