Chargrilled Peach and Green Bean Salad - a simple salad made of pan-charred green beans, super sweet ripe summer peaches, goat cheese, and a simple lemon honey dressing.
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
1 lb green beans, trimmed
3 tbsp olive oil
flaked sea salt
2-3 ripe peaches, pitted and cut into ¼-inch thick slices
¼ cup mint leaves, roughly torn
2 tsp lemon juice
black pepper
4 oz goat cheese, crumbled
2 tbsp roasted and salted almonds, chopped
2 tsp honey
Instructions
Toss the green beans with 2 tbsp of the oil and ½ tsp salt in a large bowl.
Heat a well-greased grill pan or cast-iron skillet over high heat. Once hot, add the green beans to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until well charred. Transfer back to the bowl and cover with a plate to allow them to steam until they reach the desired degree of doneness.
Toss the green beans and peach slices together with the remaining oil, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Spread on a serving plate and top with the goat cheese, almonds, and a drizzle of honey. Serve immediately.
