Instructions
Creating this Grilled Peach Salad is straightforward. Follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat.
2. Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
3. Grill the Peaches: Lightly brush the cut side of the peach halves with olive oil. Place them cut-side down on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes, or until grill marks appear and they soften.
4. Combine Greens: In a large salad bowl, toss the mixed greens with the dressing until well coated.
5. Add Cheese and Nuts: Gently fold in the feta cheese and toasted nuts into the greens.
6. Slice the Peaches: Once the peaches are grilled, remove them from the grill. Slice them into wedges.
7. Assemble the Salad: Arrange the grilled peach wedges over the dressed greens.
8. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle fresh basil or mint leaves on top for added flavor.
9. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Grilled Peach Salad while the peaches are warm, and the flavors are fresh!
