🍴Ingredient Notes
- Peaches - Ripe peaches work best with this recipe! (They're also easier to cut.) You can leave the peel on.
- Grape Tomatoes - Swap for any small tomato you enjoy in salads.
- Red Onion - Add the red onions into a small bowl of water and soak for 10 minutes to make the flavor less potent.
- Dairy-Free Feta - I used Miyokos Vegan Feta. Any feta cheese or goat cheese will work with this recipe.
- Leafy Greens - Any mixed greens or spring mix will work! You can also use baby arugula. For this recipe I used Earthbound Farm Organic Sweet Mix.
- Homemade Dressing - You'll need, balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. You can also use a store-bought balsamic dressing to save time.
🍴Step by Step Instructions
Step 1: Cut Peaches
Start by cutting the ripe peaches into thick wedges and discard the pit.
Step 2: Grill Peaches
Add the peach slices onto a preheated grill. Cook on a medium-high heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side. Place peaches on a plate to cool for a bit before adding them to the salad.
Step 3: Cut Tomatoes & Red Onion
Next, cut the grape tomatoes in half and red onion into thin strips.
Step 4: Assemble Salad
To assemble the salad, add fresh spring mix to a large bowl with grilled peaches, grape tomatoes, red onion, feta cheese, and top with balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and freshly cracked pepper!
Expert Tips
- If you're not serving the salad right away, do not toss with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. It's best enjoyed fresh!
- Do not overcook the peaches. It only takes a few minutes on each side to create beautiful grill marks.
- I used an outdoor grill to cook the peaches, but any grill will work. I also love using a grill pan!
- Use firm peaches that have a little softness when you give them a squeeze. If they are too firm, you will have trouble removing the pit, and if they are too ripe, they will be hard to work with.
- To prevent the peaches from sticking to the grill, spray a light layer of avocado oil or coconut oil before grilling.
Serving Suggestions
This easy grilled peach salad is a great side dish to serve at your next dinner party, picnic, or barbeque. Or you can enjoy it as a vegetarian or vegan meal!
Protein - Since the grill is already on, I like serving this salad with grilled chicken or grilled steak. Just throw the peaches on the grill right before the meat is done cooking.
You can add thinly sliced chicken or steak on top of the salad or leave it on the side so your guests can serve themselves. It's a great way to add some protein to this meal!
Dressing - Feel free to switch up the dressing! You can swap the balsamic vinegar for white vinegar, lemon juice, or use a store bought balsamic vinegarette.
Crunch - To add some crunch, sprinkle on some toasted pecans, walnuts, sliced almonds, crunchy pine nuts, or even raw pumpkin seeds. For some extra sweetness, try using my candied pecans!
Fruit - You can add fresh blueberries or raspberries to this salad! It's a great way to use up leftover fruit. To switch up the recipe, swap the peaches for grilled pears or grilled pineapple.
Dessert - If you love peaches, my Easy Peach Sorbet would be perfect to serve as d
How to store leftovers
Store leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 4 days.

If you make extra grilled peaches, store them in a separate container. To reheat, just pop them on the grill for a few minutes!
