Author: Diana
Serves: 2-4 Servings
Ingredients
2 ripe but firm peaches, each cut into six wedges
1 bunch (about 5 oz) arugula
1 small bunch (about 8) radishes, thinly sliced
¼ cup loosely packed mint
2 oz goat cheese (optional), crumbled
¼ cup lightly toasted, unsalted pistachios
Dressing:
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon honey
⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon, or more to taste
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Salt to taste
Instructions
Prepare grill or grill pan to high heat.
Place peach wedges on grill, coated with a bit of oil; grill 30 seconds on each side or until grill marks appear but peaches are still firm. Remove from grill; set aside.
Combine lemon juice, olive oil, honey, cinnamon, cayenne pepper and salt in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add arugula and mint, tossing gently to coat. Arrange arugula mixture on a platter. Top with peach wedges and sliced radishes. Sprinkle with goat cheese crumbles (if using) and toasted pistachios.
