Grilled Peach and Mozzarella Salad


Can you tell I have a peach obsession? Here is yet another recipe made with peaches. You are going to LOVE this one. Do I say that every time I post? Trust me on this one. You have died and gone to (peach) heaven.

Grilled Peach and Mozzarella Salad

5 peaches
3 green onions, sliced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
3-4 tablespoons honey
dash salt
1 teaspoon lime zest
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/3 cup canola oil
lettuce, butter or red leaf
3/4 lb mozzarella, cut into thin slices

Peel and chop one of the peaches. Cut remaining 4 peaches into 28 rounds-leaving skins on-about 1/4 inch rounds, cut through stems and bottom ends. Cut each peach inward from sides, cutting each side just until you reach the pit. Discard the pits. Don't worry if the peach splits and is not whole.
Process the single chopped,skinned peach, green onions and next 6 ingredients in a food processor 10 seconds or until smooth. Add oil and pulse 3-4 times until thoroughly combined.
While grill is cold, coat with cooking spray. Heat to medium-high heat. Brush both sides of peaches with dressing. (actually i skipped this step). Grill peaches for about 3-5 minutes on each side. Arrange lettuce on salad plate. Layer peaches and mozzarella cheese. Drizzle with more dressing.


This comes from one of my favorite magazines- "Southern Living." It's the "Sunset" magazine of the South.
