Ingredients
- 4 peaches
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cups spring mix
- 2 tomato cut into chunks, large
- 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbled
- 1/3 cup kalamata olives
- 1/2 cup mint optional
- 1/4 cup tarragon optional
- 1/2 cup walnuts chopped
Dressing
- 1 tbsp zaatar
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp pomegranate molasses
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium high.
- Cut the peaches in half. Remove the pit and cut each half into 4 wedges. Brush each slice lightly with olive oil.
- Once the grill is hot, place the peach sliced on the grates (or in a grilling basket for easy handling) and grill for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Let them cool for 10 minutes.
- Arrange the spring mix on a large platter and top with tomatoes, feta, kalamata olives, grilled peaches, mint, tarragon and walnuts.
- Top with zaatar. Drizzle the olive oil and pomegranate molasses on the salad and serve.
Notes
- You can grill the peaches on a grill pan if preferred. It's also possible to sear them in a nonstick pan.
- Instead of the spring mix, you can use arugula, spinach or a mix of all three.
- If pomegranate molasses is not available, use balsamic glaze.
- You can use other nuts such as pecans, almonds or cashews instead of walnuts.
- It's best to use a block of feta and crumble it yourself. This way the feta keeps its moisture and flavor.
- To save time, you can prepare all the ingredients ahead of time (including grilling peached) and assemble and drizzle with the dressing right before serving.
