Description

This vibrant grilled peach and arugula salad is the perfect summer dish—fresh, sweet, and savory with a hint of smokiness from the grilled fruit. Topped with Parmesan and toasted pine nuts for irresistible crunch and flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

5 oz baby arugula
3 ripe peaches, sliced into thick wedges
1/2 cup Parmesan, shaved and/or grated
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts

Dressing:

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon flaky salt (or to taste)

Instructions

Grill the peaches: Brush the peach wedges lightly with olive oil. Grill over medium-high heat for 1–2 minutes per side until caramelized. Let them cool slightly.
Toss the arugula: In a large bowl, toss the arugula gently with the olive oil and lemon juice.
Assemble the salad: Arrange the grilled peaches on top of the arugula. Sprinkle with shaved or grated Parmesan and toasted pine nuts.
Finish: Drizzle with balsamic glaze and season with flaky salt to taste. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a nut-free version, omit the pine nuts or substitute with toasted sunflower seeds. Burrata or goat cheese can be used instead of Parmesan for a creamier twist.
