Grilled Peach Salad With Honey Vinaigrette Recipes

PEACH SALAD {WITH GRILLED BASIL CHICKEN AND WHITE BALSAMIC-HONEY VINAIGRETTE}

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl whisk together olive oil, basil, garlic, and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper (about 1/2 tsp of each). Using the back of a spoon, press basil against sides and bottom of bowl (to help extract flavor from basil). Place chicken in a resealable bag and pound thicker parts of chicken to even thickness with a meat mallet, then pour basil mixture over chicken and evenly distribute basil over chicken. Seal bag while pressing excess air out, rub marinade over chicken and transfer to refrigerator and marinate 2 - 5 hours.
• Preheat a grill to 425 - 450 degrees over medium high heat. Brush grill grates lightly with olive oil then place chicken on grill. Grill until cooked through, rotating once halfway through cooking, about 4 - 5 minutes per side (chicken should register 165 degrees in center of chicken on an instant read thermometer). Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes then slice into strips or dice into cubes.
• Whisk together all ingredients until well blended and season with salt and pepper to taste. Store in refrigerator until ready to use, stir again before pouring over salad.
• In a large salad bowl gently toss together lettuce, peaches, corn, pecans, onions, and grilled chicken. Sprinkle goat cheese over top and drizzle with vinaigrette. Serve immediately after adding dressing.

GRILLED PEACH SALAD WITH HONEY VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Lay the pancetta slices on a baking sheet lined with a sheet of parchment paper and cook (flipping once) for about 10 minutes or until browned and crispy. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and drain.
• Preheat a grill to medium/high heat and rub the peach halves with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Grill the peaches, cut side down for 3-4 minutes or until you have nice grill marks and then carefully turn them over.
• Mix together the brown sugar and vinegar and place a small spoonful on top of each peach halve as it grills. Cover and continue to grill an additional 4 minutes.
• Remove from heat, top with blue cheese and drizzle with honey.
• Toss the greens with vinaigrette to taste and arrange peaches and pancetta slices over the top.
• Sprinkle with chives and additional vinaigrette if desired to serve.

GRILLED PEACH SALAD WITH GRAPEFRUIT VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium.
• Peel and section the grapefruit with a pairing knife over a small bowl to capture any juice. Once you have removed all sections squeeze the grapefruit to extract any left over juice into the bowl. Place sections into a separate bowl. Cut peaches into 1/8ths and brush with oil. Grill for 5 minutes until slightly soft.
• In the bowl with the grapefruit juice add the honey, oil, salt and pepper and whisk until well combined. In a large salad bowl add arugula, grapefruit, grilled peaches, sliced scallions and vinaigrette. Toss well to combine and serve.
