Ingredients
  • 2 fresh peaches
  • 3 cups arugula
  • 3 oz. blue cheese (I like cambozola, it melts perfectly)
  • 2 T. good balsamic, plus more for presentation (try The Oilerie's)
  • ½ tsp. dijon mustard
  • 2 T. Olive oil, plus more for grilling
  • Salt and pepper
Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, balsamic, and dijon.
  2. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  3. Cut peaches in half, removing stone from each peach. Leave skin on, to keep the fruit intact during grilling.
  4. Season all four halves with salt and pepper.
  5. Drizzle the grill pan with olive oil, or brush oil on the grates of an outdoor grill.
  6. Grill the peaches starting cut side down until grill marks form, and then flip to warm opposite side.
  7. Remove from heat and immediately place a generous dollop of blue cheese in the center cavity of each peach half.
  8. Toss the arugula in the dijon dressing mixture.
  9. Serve the warm peaches on a bed of the dressed arugula, and add a drizzle of balsamic over the top for presentation.
