Peach halves cooking on grill

Tired of the same old sad salads? Then fire up your charcoal pit and get ready to experience the heavenly sweet-and-savory mix of this grilled peach salad recipe! Incredibly quick and easy to make, you’ll be feasting on beautifully caramelized peaches and homemade balsamic vinaigrette in 20 minutes at most. Top the salad with your choice of goat cheese or bleu cheese — as we say around here, to peach their own — and toss in some fennel seeds if you’re feeling particularly fancy.
