Why You Should Make this Recipe

If you make one thing with fresh peaches this year, make my Grilled Peach Salad Dressing. I promise you won’t be sorry and it will become your new favorite dressing for salads, chicken, and even as a drizzle on yogurt. We love this dressing on a spinach salad with chicken, fruit, nuts, and cheese.

How to Select a Perfectly Ripe Peach

The absolute best way to choose a ripe peach for grilling or eating is to use your nose. Just hold the peach up to your nose and take a big sniff. Trust me, when you smell a perfectly ripe peach, you will know it…perfect sweetness.

Once you’ve done the smell test, gently squeeze the peach. It should have a little firmness but not hard. If it’s too soft, it’s overripe…put that one down and try another one.

If you are selecting peaches to grill, select a peach that has more firmness…firm but not hard.

How to Grill Peaches

1. Slice the peach in half.
2. Remove and discard the pit.
3. Brush both sides lightly with extra virgin olive oil.
4. Place flesh-side down on a heated grill.
5. Grill on medium heat for 3-5 minutes.
6. Cool and slice.

Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips

• Peaches are a lot like avocados; if they are not ripe, simply place them in a paper lunch bag on the countertop or on a windowsill for 1-2 days.
• If you buy perfectly ripe peaches, use them within a day or two.
• If you want to stop them from ripening, put them in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.
