  • Grilling the peaches enhances their natural sweetness and adds a smoky flavor. Brush the peaches with a mixture of olive oil and honey before grilling to prevent them from sticking to the grill grates.

  • To make the dressing, whisk together olive oil, white wine vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Adjust the proportions of each ingredient to suit your taste preferences.
  • Top the salad with crumbled goat cheese, chopped walnuts, and a drizzle of the dressing. Serve immediately and enjoy!
