Grilled Avocado and Peach Salad with Goat Cheese

If any recipe defines the freshness of the air in summer, it’s this gilled avocado and peach salad with goat cheese. The lightness of the fruit combined with the soft cheese created a beautiful depth of flavour that was highlighted perfectly by the balsamic dressing.

Although I did not have figs handy, I can only imagine that they would have elevated the flavours of this salad even more. When taking a bite of every component together, the explosion of summery flavours and textures in contrast left me reaching for more.

Preparing this dish reminded me of why warm salads hold a superior place in my heart and of why they are a defining food of the summer months. Additionally, it was very simple to prepare, and although I would recommend serving it alongside another dish (in my case, a spicy jerk pork tenderloin), the salad will certainly steal the show as the star of any meal.

Consequently, I would recommend this wholeheartedly to anyone with 45 extra minutes and I know that I would easily make it again. When arranged on a platter, it is perfectly aesthetically pleasing, and yes, it does taste as good as it looks.
