Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Brush 2 peach halves with 1 tbsp olive oil and grill for 3-4 minutes per side until grill marks form and peaches soften but hold their shape. Remove and let cool slightly.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper until emulsified and smooth.
  3. Step 3: Slice the grilled peaches into 1/2-inch wedges. In a large salad bowl, combine 4 cups mixed salad greens, 1 cup fresh blueberries, sliced grilled peaches, and 1/4 cup toasted pecans.
  4. Step 4: Drizzle the honey-lime dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
  5. Step 5: Sprinkle 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese over the top just before serving for a creamy, tangy finish.
