recipe

Instructions

Prepare the grill:
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Grill the peaches and onion:
Brush the peach wedges and red onion slices with a little olive oil.
Grill the peaches for about 2-3 minutes per side, until grill marks appear and they are slightly softened.
Grill the red onion slices for about 3-4 minutes per side, until softened and slightly caramelized.
Remove from the grill and let cool slightly.

Assemble the salad:
In a large salad bowl, combine the arugula, grilled peach wedges, grilled red onion slices, and blueberries.
Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Gently toss to combine all the ingredients evenly.

Add the finishing touches:
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and thinly sliced basil leaves over the salad.

Serve immediately:
Transfer the salad to serving plates or bowls and enjoy immediately while the peaches and onions are still warm, contrasting with the cool arugula and blueberries.

This salad combines the smoky sweetness of grilled peaches with the tanginess of blueberries and feta, complemented by the peppery arugula and fresh basil. It’s a delightful mix of flavors and textures that makes for a refreshing and satisfying dish, perfect for summer or any time you want a vibrant salad option.
