Salad of Mixed Greens with Grilled Peaches and Cabrales Cheese Recipe

Salad of Mixed Greens with Grilled Peaches and Cabrales Cheese Recipe

  • 1/2 cup walnuts
  • 4 firm, ripe freestone peaches, halved and pitted
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
  • 3 ounces arugula, large stems discarded
  • 1 (5 ounce) head frisee, torn into bite-size pieces
  • 3 ounces Cabrales cheese, crumbled
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Light a grill. Put the walnuts in a pie plate and toast in the oven for 7 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Transfer the walnuts to a plate and let cool, then coarsely chop.
  2. In a medium bowl, toss the peaches with 1/2 tablespoon of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the peaches over a medium-high fire until softened and lightly browned, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the peaches to a work surface and cut each half in half.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix the vinegar with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Add the arugula and frisee and toss well. Transfer the salad to a platter and scatter the Cabrales and toasted walnuts on top. Arrange the peaches around the salad and serve.
