Ingredients
Scale
Salad
- 1 (5-ounce) package arugula
- 2 peaches
- 1 (6-ounce) package blackberries
- ½ cup roasted pistachios
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
Vinaigrette
- ⅓ cup apple cider vinegar
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Prepare the dressing: Add apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, and Dijon mustard to a small bowl or mason jar. Whisk vigorously until fully combined and set aside to let the flavors meld.
- Preheat the grill: Heat your grill to medium heat to ensure even cooking and nice grill marks on the peaches.
- Prepare the peaches: Slice the peaches into large chunks to prevent them from falling through the grill grates. Brush both sides with olive oil to avoid sticking.
- Grill the peaches: Place the peaches on the preheated grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip and grill for another 3 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
- Slice peaches: Transfer grilled peaches to a cutting board and slice into smaller pieces if desired for easier salad assembly.
- Assemble the salad: In a large serving bowl or platter, combine arugula, blackberries, roasted pistachios, crumbled feta cheese, and grilled peach pieces. Drizzle the prepared dressing evenly over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients thoroughly.
Notes
- Make Ahead: Grill the peaches and prepare the dressing in advance, then assemble salad just before serving to keep the arugula fresh and crisp.
- Storage: Store leftover salad in an airtight container or cover the serving bowl with plastic wrap. Refrigerate promptly to maintain freshness.
