If you aren't going to be grilling at your picnic site, you can grill and slice the peaches for this salad in advance. Simply pack the peaches, cheese, nuts and dressing in one container and the greens in another and combine them when you're ready to eat.
- 4 peaches
- Walnut oil
- 4 c. arugula
- 4 oz. blue cheese
- 2 T. coarsely chopped pecans
- Olive oil
- Balsamic vinegar
Halve the peaches and coat them in walnut oil (olive oil will also work).
Grill the peaches on a medium-low fire about five minutes per side. Remove the skins, cut them into slices and arrange over the arugula.
Crumble the blue cheese and sprinkle the pecans on top and dress with good a olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
- Yields: 4 servings
