Ingredients
- 2 peaches
- ⅔ c pecans
- 6 c leaf lettuce (romaine, spinach, arugula, etc), washed
- ½ c fresh basil, washed and chopped
- ⅔ c mozzarella cheese, shredded
For the Dressing
- ¼ c white wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the grill.
- Wash, pit, and half the peaches. Place flesh-side down on the grill. The heat should be moderate, and the peaches should not be placed directly over any of the grill’s hot spots. Cover, and grill peaches until soft (10-12 min). When the peaches are done, remove from the grill and allow to cool to touch.
- While the peaches are grilling, heat a medium, non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Place pecans in dry pan and toast until fragrant (3-5 min), stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let cool once toasted.
- In a small bowl whisk together dressing ingredients and set aside.
- Chop lettuce into bite sized pieces and place in a large serving bowl. Toss with basil and cheese.
- Dice cooled peaches, and add to the lettuce mixture.
- Pour dressing over salad, and toss to coat.
- Coarsely chop the toasted pecans and sprinkle over top of the salad.
- Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 24 hours before serving.
