Grilled Steak and Peach Salad with a Homemade Peach Vinaigrette
Grilled Steak and Peach Salad with a Homemade Peach Vinaigrette
Description
Peaches are one of my favorite summer fruits and are the perfect sweet addition to any summer salad. This fruit is even more delicious when grilled. Grilling peaches is a great way to bring out the natural sweetness and slightly caramelize it perfectly. When it comes to grilling, you’ll want to look for peaches that are still firm when squeezed. Really ripe peaches have more sugar, which will cause them to burn quickly.
To build this beautiful summer Steak and Peach Salad, I use fresh spinach and mixed greens, fresh red onions, maple glazed pecans, and avocados. I try to keep the ingredients simple because adding too much can take away from the salad instead of adding to it. The Peach Vinaigrette is the showstopper in this dish though, it adds a crazy amount of flavor.
The peach in the dressing gives it the right amount of sweetness without making it too overpowering. It is the perfect savory and sweet dressing that would be good on any salad, protein, or veggies. If you bought peaches at your local farmer’s market and are needing a yummy recipe, give this tasty summer salad and dressing a try.
