Ingredients

  • For the Salad:
    • 2 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
    • 1 cup fresh blueberries
    • 4 cups mixed greens (arugula, spinach, or a blend)
    • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
    • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
  • For the Dressing:
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
    • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
    • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill or grill pan to medium heat.
  2. Prepare the Peaches: Wash the peaches and cut them in half, removing the pit. Brush the cut sides with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  3. Grill the Peaches: Place the peaches cut-side down on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes, until grill marks form and the fruit softens slightly. Remove and let cool slightly before slicing into wedges.
  4. Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens and fresh blueberries. Arrange the grilled peach slices on top.
  5. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together honey (or maple syrup), balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
  6. Toss the Salad: Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with crumbled feta and chopped nuts, if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • If you prefer a vegan option, omit the feta or use vegan cheese alternatives.
  • For added protein, consider adding grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
  • Other fruits such as strawberries or raspberries can also be added for a more diverse flavor.
  • Store the salad components separately to avoid sogginess. Assemble just before serving.
