About this recipe

If you’ve never grilled peaches, you have to try this grilled peach salad recipe. Grilling the peaches brings out their natural sugars and creates a char that tastes so good. Perfect for summer, this easy to make salad is guaranteed to be a hit.

When selecting peaches for grilling, always use firm peaches. You’ll want the peaches to be firm to the touch because that means they are not overly ripe. Overly ripe peaches have too much sugar in them, which means they will quickly burn on the grill.

To prepare the peaches for grilling, simply half and pit the peaches. Brush the inside with olive oil before placing them cut side down on the grill. Grill for 4-5 minutes at 350-400 degrees before flipping. Allow the peaches to cool before adding them to the salad. Otherwise, they will wilt the arugula. This recipe makes 6 light servings. Perfect for hot summer nights when you want a healthy salad recipe.

Storage

Store any leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for two to three days. Store any leftover dressing separately if possible. It will also need to be in an airtight container and refrigerated. Dressing will last five to six days. Looking for more salad recipe ideas?
