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.

I found the blue cheese to be a bit overpowering. I would use a milder cheese next time.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of honey in the dressing next time.

I'm not a big fan of walnuts, so I used pecans instead. It was still delicious.

I added some grilled chicken to this salad for extra protein and it was delicious.

I love the colors in this salad. The green of the lettuce, the orange of the peaches, and the blue of the cheese make it so visually appealing.

This is a great summer salad. It's light and refreshing, and the peaches are so juicy and flavorful.

I've never been a fan of blue cheese, but this salad changed my mind. The flavors all worked together so well.

This salad was a delightful surprise! The combination of sweet peaches, tangy blue cheese, and crunchy walnuts was perfect.
