    This is a recipe for Grilled Peach Salad with Arugula and Goat Cheese. A fun toss between a salad and a cheese course. Grill peaches to give them a hint of smoke, then serve them with goat cheese, arugula and a splash of balsamic vinaigrette.

    Is there anything better than a beautiful juicy fresh peach? Try grilling that big beautiful peach to add caramelization, and a little smoke. And you’ll end up with the most delicious salad to ever grace your grill.

    Delicious Summer citrus and it’s hearty enough to satisfy a big appetite. And perfect for any occasion.

    So if you’re looking for a good reason to throw a backyard bash, this grilled peach salad will impress your hungry crowd. 

    And it’s easier to make than one might think. The peaches are done grilling in just a couple of minutes. The goat cheese slices in a jiff, especially if you’ve let it sit in the freezer for 15 or so minutes. And the dressing is a cinch to whisk up. Purchase a good quality, unflavored goat cheese.

    So fire up that grill and invite those friends. Celebrate the flavors of Summer.

      This recipe is just peachy!

      Ok, that was bad, I know 🙂 I’ve never grilled peaches, but I have done other fruit, and so I know they must turn out wonderfully caramelized and yummy.
