Peach and Blue Cheese Salad


INGREDIENTS

  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup Marcona almonds
  • 3 to 4 cups leaf lettuce
  • 1 cup of your favorite blue cheese

    DIRECTIONS

    Heat the grill to medium or the oven to 250 degrees F.

    Add the peaches to a large bowl, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and toss to coat. Grill for 1 minute per side or warm for 2 minutes in the oven.

    Meanwhile, make the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, vinegar, mustard, honey and remaining 1/4 cup olive oil. Season with salt.

    Gently mix together the warm peaches, almonds, lettuce and blue cheese in a large mixing bowl. Toss with the dressing.

    Cook’s Note: I love this served right on top of a steak but it is also great as a side salad.
