Ingredients
Salad:
- 3 peaches ripe but firm
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil or extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 5 - 8 ounces baby arugula
- ¼ cup pine nuts toasted
- ¼ cup crumbled goat cheese or feta
Vinaigrette Dressing:
- 2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Place all the vinaigrette ingredients into a bowl or mason jar and whisk or shake to combine. Set to the side.
- Wash and dry the peaches and then slice each peach into 6 segments.
- In a small mixing bowl, toss them with avocado or olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Let them marinate while you heat your grill.
- Heat grill (or grill pan) to medium-high (375 - 400° F) and wipe down with nonstick spray or an oil dipped paper towel.
- Place the peach slices on the heated grill and cook each side for 2 - 3 minutes, until each slice has light grill marks. Remove from grill, set them to the side, and allow them to cool to room temperature for 5 - 8 minutes which you prepare the salad.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the arugula with the dressing. Then transfer to a large serving plate and add the toasted pine nuts, crumbled feta or goat cheese, and grilled peaches. Drizzle any additional dressing on top and enjoy!

Notes
- TO STORE: store salad dressing and salad in separate containers. I recommend dressing the salad minutes before consumption, or else the arugula will wilt and get soggy.
