We all know the grill infuses our favorite meats with delicious, barbecued goodness. But, we have a recipe here to take that fresh-grilled taste to new heights.

Together, a plentiful harvest of fresh produce and grilled fresh peaches make a tasty salad that pairs nicely with any meat fresh off the grill. It’s simple, quick and comes together in less than 30 minutes!

For the salad

2 firm ripe peaches, quartered (about 1 lb.)
2 cups cubed watermelon
About 10 ounces of mixed spring greens
1/2 cup crumbled goat or feta cheese
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
3/4 cup roughly chopped toasted pistachios

For the dressing

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons of your favorite vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon honey
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Preheat grill to high.

Place peaches, cut sides down, on oiled grates. Grill the peaches uncovered until well charred, about 4 minutes on each side.

Prepare the salad:

Toss greens, watermelon, cheese, mint and pistachios in a large bowl.

To make the dressing:

Whisk together olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, honey, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Drizzle vinaigrette over salad, top with grilled peaches and serve.
