Ingredients

• 4 medium peaches
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 5 cups arugula
• 4 ounces goat cheese
• 0.5 cup slivered almonds, toasted
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).

Step 2

While the grill is heating, wash the peaches thoroughly, then cut them in half and remove the pits.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper.

Step 4

Brush the cut side of each peach half with the olive oil mixture.

Step 5

Place the peaches on the grill, cut side down, and grill for about 4-5 minutes, until grill marks appear and the peaches are slightly softened. Turn them over and grill for an additional 4-5 minutes.

Step 6

Once grilled, remove the peaches from the grill and let them cool slightly. Then, slice each half into wedges.

Step 7

In a large salad bowl, combine the arugula, goat cheese, and toasted slivered almonds.

Step 8

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar and honey to create the dressing.

Step 9

Add the grilled peaches and dressing to the salad bowl. Toss gently to combine the ingredients.

Step 10

Sprinkle the fresh chopped basil over the salad as a finishing touch.

Step 11

Serve immediately, allowing guests to enjoy the contrasting flavors and textures of the warm, juicy peaches against the creamy goat cheese and crunchy almonds.
