Grilled Peaches with Lemon and Thyme

About 2 months ago I made a Grilled Peach Salad which was really good, so I was excited to make peaches on the grill again. I was glad I got to use fresh thyme in this one. This was good as a side dish, but I also think it would be good as a dessert with some vanilla ice cream.

I got the idea for this recipe from Food52.

Ingredients:

-peaches

-lemon juice

-thyme

Cut the peaches into slices and place them
on the grill.

Grill about 3 minutes on each slice.

Mix a little bit of lemon juice and thyme in a small bowl.

Brush the mixture onto the peach slices.

This was so simple to make! It was great to have no work for the side dish so I could spend more time making a main course. The lemon taste was a little odd with the peach, I was a little unsure at first, but it was a pretty good combination, worth trying.

Grilled Peach Salad

This is the last post for Salad Wednesday, here is a list of our other salads from this spring:

Cucumber Salad, Deconstructed Wedge Salad, Edible Flower Salad, Buffalo Cauliflower Salad, Panera Apple Fuji Salad, Minestrone Salad, Tangerine, Hazelnut and Goat Cheese Salad, Stacked Apple Peach Salad, Broccoli Salad, Apricot Pineapple Salad, and Tortellini Salad.

Our next Wednesday series will be Grilling Wednesday, perfect for the summer. This recipe is a transition between the two, it was a salad, but it used grilled peaches. Look back every Wednesday where will will try out some interesting vegetarian recipes for the grill!

This idea came from Paula Deen.

Ingredients:

-3 peaches cut into slices
-1 Tbsp olive oil
-1 tsp salt
-5 cups spinach lettuce mix
-1/2 cup chopped pecans
-1/3 cup mozzarella cheese

I used a raspberry balsamic vinaigrette as dressing, and it went well with this salad.

Make up a plate of the greens, pecans and cheese.

Brush the peaches with a little olive oil and salt.
Put on the grill for about 2 minutes per side.

A few fell apart, but not many.

They got some nice grill marks.

Add the peaches and dressing to the salad.

This was one of the best salads I have made. It is great to be able to use the grill, and grilling the peaches really brought out their flavor. The spinach and the peaches were a good combination too. I would recommend this as a side dish next time you grill.
