Grilled Peach And Blue Cheese Salad Recipe

Grilled Peach and Blue Cheese Salad

From notyourmomma 15 years ago

Nice change of pace salad, grilled peaches are wonderful, the blue cheese and nuts are a classic pairing.

1 medium shallot minced very fine shopping list
1/3 cup sherry wine vinegar shopping list
2 tbsp of honey shopping list
1 tsp of Dijon mustard shopping list
1/2 teaspoon black pepper shopping list
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt shopping list
1/4 to 1/3 cup of mild grapeseed oil shopping list
4 small ripe but not overly ripe peaches, halved pitted and threaded on soaked wooden skewers shopping list
coarse sugar (in the raw is good) shopping list
4 cups of baby spring greens shopping list
2 ounces of coarsely broken pecans or walnuts, toasted in the oven at 350 for 8 minutes shopping list
2 ounces of crumbled imported blue cheese shopping list

Mince shallot, whisk with vinegar, honey, mustard, salt and pepper in small bowl.
Add oil and whisk well. Reserve.
Wash and spin dry greens. Chill.
Thread halved peaches on soaked skewers, dip cut peach sides in raw sugar,
Grill over medium heat on oiled grill until you get nice char marks.
Remove from skewers carefully. Don't burn yourself.
Toss chilled greens with the dressing.
Divide evenly between four plates
Top with warm peach chunks and sprinkle with toasted nuts and crumbled blue cheese.
Alternately, a slightly dressier version can be made by cutting creamy saga blue cheese in a baby wedge on top of a crostini; served as a side, crunchy savory cheese toast with the salad of warm peaches and dressed greens.

Classic pairing is right! I love blue cheese with sweet and salty - your post sounds absolutely heavenly, and perfect for summer entertaining...what a pretty and impressive company dish - you never cease to amaze me, notcho!! (can't wait to try the raw sugar idea on the grilled fruit - has to be fantastic...you've made me very, very hungry again)

This looks so gourmet and delicious. I think the presentation would be impressive and deserving of company. Can't wait to try it. Peaches not real good here yet, and would have to hunt down some grapeseed oil. I've never used that. Will have to break down and get some of that not-so-cheap sherry vinegar. Have just been subbing with sherry and rice wine vinegar, but am finding more and more recipes using it. Thanks for the post. You've got my 5!
