Grilled Peach & Goat Cheese Salad
 
 
Ingredients
  • 6 almonds, chopped into little bits
  • 2 ounces goats cheese
  • 4-6 cups salad greens
  • 2 ripe peaches , each cut into 8 wedges, or sliced into rounds
  • 2 – 4 ounce organic chicken breasts (skinless, boneless) (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper , to taste
  • 2 slices prosciutto (optional)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400° and preheat BBQ to medium heat. Place chopped almonds on a small plate. Separate goat cheese into 6-8 round balls. Gently roll each goat cheese round in almonds, pressing gently so they adhere.
  2. While oven is heating, slice peaches and toss in a bowl with a tiny drizzle of the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Toss to coat.
  3. Lightly season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  4. Place chicken on BBQ, then place peaches on BBQ and leave for 2-3 minutes on each side to develop good grill marks and slightly caramelize.
  5. While chicken and peaches are cooking, place goat cheese rounds on a parchment-lined baking sheet and cook 10 to 12 minutes, until almonds are lightly browned. Remove and let stand 2 to 3 minutes.
  6. Whisk together olive oil and balsamic vinegar to make dressing.
  7. Divide salad greens among 2 serving plates; top each with grilled peaches, chicken, prosciutto (if using), and 3 or 4 goat cheese rounds. Drizzle with dressing and season lightly with salt and pepper, if preferred.
