Ingredients

Peach Salad:

  • 4 medium ripe peaches seeded & quartered
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup red onion thinly sliced
  • 5 ounces mixed greens
  • ¼ cup crumbled goat cheese

Spiced Honey Pecans

  • ½ cup chopped pecans
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon unsalted butter

Lemon Honey Vinaigrette:

  • 9 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

  • Lemon Honey Vinaigrette: To a blender, add all the vinaigrette ingredients and blend until smooth. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
  • Grilled Peaches: Clean and oil cooking grate. Prepare a charcoal or gas grill fire for direct grilling over medium-high heat (450°F). Brush peaches with butter. Place peaches directly over the heat for 3-5 minutes. If the fire gets too hot move peaches to a cooler side of the grill until you see desired grill marks. Remove from grill to cool.*
  • Spiced Honey Pecans: Add cast iron skillet to grill to get hot. Add all pecan ingredients (excluding butter) to the cast iron and bring them to a boil. Boil until the pan is dry, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and toss them with butter.
  • To assemble: Add mixed greens to a large platter and toss in ¼ of the vinaigrette. Layer on peaches, red onions, pecans, and goat cheese. Serve with a side of the remaining dressing and enjoy immediately.
