Ingredients
Scale
- 4 peaches, sliced into wedges
- 5 oz arugula
- 1 1/2 cups blueberries
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup pecans
- 2 oz feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 to 2 tbsp white balsamic vinegar or red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp honey
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- Cooking oil for grill
Instructions
- Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat and lightly oil the surface.
- Place the peach slices in a single layer and grill for 6 to 10 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until softened with light grill marks.
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper until fully emulsified.
- Arrange the arugula on a large serving platter or bowl.
- Top with grilled peaches, blueberries, pecans, and crumbled feta cheese.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving.
Notes
- Use peaches that are slightly firm so they hold their shape on the grill.
- Do not move the peaches too early while grilling or they may stick and tear.
- Assemble the salad shortly before serving to keep the arugula crisp.
- Nectarines can be used instead of peaches if preferred.
