Ingredients
Scale
Salad:
- 2–3 fresh peaches, halved and pitted
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 4 cups arugula, baby spinach, or spring mix
- 1/3 cup crumbled goat cheese or feta
- 1/4 cup toasted almonds or walnuts

Honey-Balsamic Vinaigrette:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates.
- Place peach halves cut-side down and grill for 3–5 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly. Let cool, then slice.
- In a large bowl or platter, arrange greens. Top with grilled peach slices, blueberries, crumbled cheese, and nuts.
- Optional: Add avocado slices or prosciutto for a heartier salad.
- In a small jar or bowl, shake or whisk together the vinaigrette ingredients until emulsified.
- Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad just before serving. Toss gently and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use maple syrup instead of honey for a vegan version.
- Great with grilled chicken for a full meal.
- Substitute pecans or pine nuts for a different crunch.
