Grilled Peach, Blueberry, and Goat Cheese Arugula Salad-the grilled peaches make this gorgeous summer salad extra special!
Oh, summer I am loving you and your fine produce! I can’t get enough. I am currently obsessed with grilled peaches. I make Josh grill up ripe and juicy peaches almost every day. I love eating them plain, with Greek yogurt, and in this Grilled Peach, Blueberry, and Goat Cheese Arugula Salad.
This salad has been my “go to” lunch this week. Not only is it beautiful, but it is fresh, tasty, and easy to make! You should add it to your summer menu ASAP!
This salad is great for an easy lunch or dinner. I also like to make it for summer BBQ’s and parties. Everyone always compliments on how pretty it is and after they taste it, they for sure want the recipe! It’s a winner all-around!
The grilled peaches are the star of the salad. I brush them with a little bit of the dressing and have Josh grill them until they are soft, sweet, juicy, and lined with grilled marks. I let them cool to room temperature and slice them so they are ready for my salad!
To make the salad, I start with a bed of arugula and then add grilled peaches, blueberries, crumbled goat cheese, and Marcona almonds. If you can’t find Marcona almonds, feel free to use regular almonds or your favorite nut. Pecans would also be good!
The dressing is light and simple to whisk up. It just gives the salad a splash of sweetness and flavor!
Take advantage of summer’s finest produce and make this Grilled Peach, Blueberry, and Goat Cheese Arugula Salad.
