Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into lardons (1-by-1/4-inch pieces)
Vegetable oil, for the grill pan
4 firm peaches, cut into sixths
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon honey
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 bunch kale, stemmed and thinly sliced
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup toasted pecan pieces

Steps:

  • Add the bacon lardons to a cold skillet and heat over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until the fat is rendered and bacon is crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate. Reserve the fat in the pan and keep warm; there should be a little more than 4 tablespoons fat.
  • Meanwhile, lightly oil and preheat a cast-iron grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the peaches with a little of the reserved bacon fat and season with a little black pepper. Grill until fragrant and clear grill marks appear, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, mustard and vinegar. Slowly whisk in the warm bacon fat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • In a large bowl, drizzle the dressing over the kale; toss to coat. Taste and season with a little more salt and pepper as needed. Transfer the kale to a serving platter and top with the tomatoes, peaches, pecans and bacon.

Provided by Snook

Number Of Ingredients 10

Nonstick cooking spray
5 slices bacon, chopped
1 shallot, finely chopped
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 firm, ripe large peaches, pitted and quartered
Extra-virgin olive oil
5 ounces baby spinach

Steps:

  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and spray with nonstick spray. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove to a paper towel lined plate Add the shallots to the skillet and saute until tender. Stir in the mustard, vinegar and sugar and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Brush the peaches with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until golden and has grill char marks, about 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Add the spinach and the sliced red onion to a large serving bowl. Add the peaches, the vinaigrette and the chopped bacon. Toss and serve.

Tips:

  • To ensure the best flavor, use ripe peaches for this recipe. Peaches that are slightly soft to the touch and have a sweet aroma are ideal.
  • Grill the peaches over medium-high heat to create a slightly charred exterior and a tender, juicy interior. Keep an eye on the peaches to prevent them from burning.
  • Allow the grilled peaches to cool slightly before slicing them. This will help prevent them from falling apart.
  • For the balsamic bacon vinaigrette, use high-quality balsamic vinegar and crispy bacon. The combination of sweet and tangy flavors will complement the grilled peaches perfectly.
  • To assemble the salad, layer the grilled peaches, arugula, goat cheese, and walnuts in a bowl. Drizzle the balsamic bacon vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  • Serve the salad immediately while the peaches are still warm and juicy.

Conclusion:

This grilled peach salad with balsamic bacon vinaigrette is a delightful combination of flavors and textures. The grilled peaches are sweet and juicy, the arugula is peppery and refreshing, the goat cheese is creamy and tangy, the walnuts add a nutty crunch, and the balsamic bacon vinaigrette ties it all together with a sweet and tangy dressing. This salad is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner and is sure to impress your guests.
