Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).
Step 2
While the grill is heating, wash the peaches thoroughly, then cut them in half and remove the pits.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper.
Step 4
Brush the cut side of each peach half with the olive oil mixture.
Step 5
Place the peaches on the grill, cut side down, and grill for about 4-5 minutes, until grill marks appear and the peaches are slightly softened. Turn them over and grill for an additional 4-5 minutes.
Step 6
Once grilled, remove the peaches from the grill and let them cool slightly. Then, slice each half into wedges.
Step 7
In a large salad bowl, combine the arugula, goat cheese, and toasted slivered almonds.
Step 8
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar and honey to create the dressing.
Step 9
Add the grilled peaches and dressing to the salad bowl. Toss gently to combine the ingredients.
Step 10
Sprinkle the fresh chopped basil over the salad as a finishing touch.
Step 11
Serve immediately, allowing guests to enjoy the contrasting flavors and textures of the warm, juicy peaches against the creamy goat cheese and crunchy almonds.
