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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Step 3: Assemble Salad Base: In a large serving bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, fresh blueberries, crumbled feta cheese, and toasted pecans.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
