Ingredients
Scale
2 ripe peaches
1 cup fresh blueberries
5 oz mixed salad greens
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup toasted pecans
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Peaches: Wash and halve the peaches, removing the pits. Lightly brush the cut sides of the peaches with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Step 2: Grill Peaches: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Place the oiled peach halves cut-side down on the hot grill. Grill for 3-5 minutes per side, or until they have nice grill marks and are slightly softened. Remove from grill and let cool slightly, then slice into wedges.
Step 3: Assemble Salad Base: In a large serving bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, fresh blueberries, crumbled feta cheese, and toasted pecans.
Step 4: Combine and Dress: Add the sliced grilled peaches to the salad bowl. Drizzle the entire salad with balsamic glaze and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Step 5: Season and Serve: Gently toss all ingredients to combine. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
Notes
For best freshness, if not serving immediately, store the grilled peaches, blueberries, and dressing components separately from the mixed greens; combine just before eating to avoid sogginess.
This salad is designed to be enjoyed fresh; reheating is not recommended as it will compromise the crispness of the greens and the delicate texture of the fruit. Best served at room temperature.
Elevate your meal by serving this vibrant salad alongside grilled chicken or beef tenderloin, or enjoy it as a refreshing light lunch on a warm day.
To achieve perfectly grilled peaches, select fruit that is ripe but firm to the touch; this allows for beautiful grill marks and a slightly softened interior without becoming mushy.
