Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 firm peaches, pitted and quartered
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon honey
Kosher salt
1/2 cup Marcona almonds
3 to 4 cups baby arugula
1 cup of your favorite blue cheese (I'm currently obsessed with the smoked blue from Wisconsin)

Steps:

  • Heat the grill to medium or the oven to 250 degrees F.
  • Add the peaches to a large bowl, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and toss to coat. Grill for 1 minute per side or warm for 2 minutes in the oven.
  • Meanwhile, make the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, vinegar, mustard, honey and remaining 1/4 cup olive oil. Season with salt.
  • Gently mix together the warm peaches, almonds, arugula and blue cheese in a large mixing bowl. Toss with the dressing.
  • Cook's Note: I love this served right on top of a steak but it is also great as a side salad.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using a different type of dressing next time.
