About this recipe:

As we soak up the last full month of summer, we wanted to share a simple recipe that is best enjoyed outdoors and incorporates sweet and fresh seasonal peaches. 

Ingredients

For the Salad:

  • 2 peaches, just ripe
  • 1T Kosterina Original Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 3 cups baby arugula
  • 1/3 cup feta, drained and cut into 1’’ cubes
  • 1/3 cup hazelnuts, toasted

For the Honey Vinaigrette:

  • 3T Kosterina Original Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1T Kosterina Original Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper

Directions

For the Salad:

  1. Cut the peaches in half, remove the pit and slice lengthwise into ¼’ pieces.
  2. Brush the peach slices with Kosterina Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
  3. Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium heat and place the peach slices flat on the grill for 2 minutes.
  4. Carefully flip and cook for one more minute.  Place the grilled peaches on a side dish and set aside.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk the ingredients for the vinaigrette together.
  6. Place the arugula in a bowl, toss with the vinaigrette to coat, and spoon the dressed arugula into a flat serving dish. 
  7. Lay the peach slices evenly over the arugula, sprinkle the nuts and feta on top and finish with a drizzle of Kosterina Balsamic Vinegar. Serve immediately--and enjoy!
