Ingredients
The Honey Vinaigrette
- 2 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 2 tablespoons plain greek yogurt use 1 tablespoon mayonnaise for dairy-free
- 1 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- A pinch of sea salt
The Candied Curry Pecans
- ¼ ¼ cup pecans
- 1 1 tablespoon honey
- ½ ½ teaspoon curry powder
- ¼ ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 1 teaspoon butter
The Salad
- 4 4 ripe but firm peaches
- ½ ½ teaspoon avocado oil or another neutral-flavored oil
- 5 5 ounces baby arugula
- ½ ½ cup blueberries
- ¼ ¼ cup crumbled goat cheese sub a diced avocado for dairy-free
Instructions
- Place all the vinaigrette ingredients into a 1-cup mason jar and shake until mixed.
- Place the pecans, honey, curry powder, and sea salt in a small frying pan and bring them to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil until the pan is dry, about 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the butter to prevent the pecans from sticking together.
- Preheat your barbecue to high. Cut the peaches in half and remove the pit. Then cut each peach half into three wedges. Place the peaches in a medium-sized bowl and toss with the oil. Grill the peaches for 2-3 minutes per side. Remove them from the grill using an offset spatula - this works better than a regular spatula and helps prevent the grill marks from being left on the grill.
- Place the arugula in a large bowl with goat cheese, curry pecans, blueberries, and grilled peaches. Toss with the dressing and serve immediately.

Notes
- A grill mat works really great for this recipe. If you don't have one, make sure to oil the grill well so you don't risk the peaches sticking.
