Ingredients

Balsamic Reduction

  • 1 cup (225 g) balsamic vinegar
  • ¼ cup (85 g) honey

Cheese Topping

  • ¾ cup (180 g) mascarpone cheese
  • ¼ cup (60 g) cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Peaches

  • 4 yellow peaches, ripe
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon fresh cracked pepper

Salad

  • 1 tablespoon honey, for drizzling
  • 8 small fresh basil leaves
  • 4 cups spring salad mixture
  • ¼ cup (109 g) pecans, chopped

Instructions

Balsamic Reduction

  • In a small saucepan over medium-high heat add the balsamic vinegar and boil until it cooks down to half (about 10 minutes). The mixture should be thicker and should stick to the back of a spoon.
  • Add the honey to the mixture, stir to combine and remove from heat. Set aside.

Cheese Mixture

  • In a medium bowl mix together mascarpone cheese, cream cheese, salt, pepper, and honey. Set in the fridge to chill while you prepare the peaches.

Peaches

  • Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 450°F)
  • Cut peaches in half and remove the pit. Brush the tops with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Lightly brush the grill grates with oil and then set the peaches cut side down on the grill grates. Grill undisturbed for 3-4 minutes (depending on grill heat) and then turn the peach 90°. Grill for an additional 3-4 minutes and then remove from heat
  • Slice grilled peaches and set aside.

Salad

  • Separate spring salad mixture into 4-6 large bowls, top with peaches, pecans, and the cheese mixture (to your liking). Drizzle each bowl with balsamic reduction and honey.
