Ingredients
  

4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted

4 cups mixed salad greens (arugula, spinach, and kale)

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/3 cup candied pecans, roughly chopped

1/4 red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup balsamic vinaigrette

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium heat.

    Prepare the Peaches: Brush the cut sides of the peach halves with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

      Grill the Peaches: Place the peach halves cut-side down on the grill. Grill for about 3-4 minutes or until grill marks appear and the peaches are slightly softened. Remove from the grill and set aside to cool slightly.

        Assemble the Salad: In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, candied pecans, sliced red onion, and crumbled feta cheese.

          Dress the Salad: Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring the greens are well-coated.

            Add Grilled Peaches: Slice the grilled peaches into quarters and arrange them on top of the salad.

              Garnish: Sprinkle fresh basil leaves over the salad for an extra burst of flavor.

                Serve: Serve immediately while the peaches are warm and the salad is crisp.
