TIPS

Here are some tips to help you prepare this caramelised peach & arugula salad.

  • Choose Ripe Peaches: Slightly firm peaches hold up better when grilled.
  • Use A Grill Pan: If an outdoor grill isn’t available, a grill pan works just as well.
  • Let Peaches Cool Slightly: This helps prevent the arugula from wilting.
  • Enhance Sweetness: Add a dash of cinnamon before grilling for extra depth.
  • Make It Crunchier: Toss in toasted almonds or pecans for added texture.

VARIATIONS

  • Add Protein: Top with grilled chicken or shrimp for a heartier salad.
  • Make It Dairy-Free: Replace cheese with avocado for a creamy texture.
  • Use Different Fruit: Try grilled nectarines, plums or apricots.
  • Try A Different Dressing: Swap balsamic for a lemon vinaigrette.
  • Enhance The Herbs: Add fresh basil or mint for extra freshness.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Fridge Storage: Best eaten fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 day.
  • Keep Ingredients Separate: If preparing ahead, store grilled peaches and dressing separately to maintain freshness.
  • Avoid Freezing: Peaches and arugula lose texture when frozen.
  • Reheat Peaches For Warm Salad: Briefly warm in a pan before serving.
  • Enjoy Cold Or Warm: This salad is versatile and can be served either way.
