In Season: Grilled Peach Salad

Peaches are so good right now, I can’t get enough. I eat them morning, noon, and night! I love eating them plain, but I also enjoy creating peach recipes. A few of my favorite peach recipes are Peaches and Cream Stuffed French Toast, Blueberry Peach Crumble, and Peach Salsa. My new favorite peach recipe is this simple Grilled Peach Salad.

I drizzle the peaches with sweet honey and grill them until soft, tender, and juicy! I cut the peaches in slices and add them to mixed greens. For added flavor, I toss in crumbled blue cheese, pecans, and red onion. I dress the salad with a simple balsamic dressing, but feel free to use your favorite dressing.

Make this Grilled Peach Salad before peach season is over! It’s a great way to enjoy summer peaches!

  1. Maria, this recipe sounds so great! We have 6- 18 lb boxes of peaches. We’ve frozen almost all, but we definitely have a few to make this salad. Grilled peaches… sounds like perfection!
