Gorgonzola cheese gets gooey and delicious melted over the grilled peaches in this amazing summer salad recipe. There's a perfect balance of salty and sweet goodness. Ingredients:
1 cup pecans |
4 large fresh, ripe peaches, halved |
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided |
salt and freshly ground pepper |
1 (4-oz.) wedge gorgonzola cheese, broken into 8 pieces |
2 cups arugula |
1/4 cup honey |
2 tablespoons finely chopped chives |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°. Bake pecans in a single layer in a shallow pan 10 to 12 minutes or until toasted and fragrant, stirring halfway through.
2. Preheat grill to 350° to 400° (medium-high) heat. Gently toss peach halves in 1 Tbsp. olive oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Grill peaches, cut sides down, covered with grill lid, 2 to 3 minutes or until golden. Turn peaches, and place 1 cheese piece in center of each peach; grill, covered with grill lid, 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese begins to melt.
3. Toss arugula with remaining 2 Tbsp. olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Arrange arugula on a serving platter; sprinkle with toasted pecans, and top with grilled peach halves. Drizzle peaches with honey, and sprinkle with chives.
4. *Aged balsamic vinegar may be substituted.
