  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil divided, plus more for the grill

  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey

Instructions

  • Preheat the grill to medium-high, then oil the grates. In a small bowl, toss the peaches with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook the peaches for about 2 minutes per side. Cool to room temperature (or until just slightly warm; you want to avoid wilting the salad greens).
  • In a measuring cup, whisk together the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil with the balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, dijon mustard, honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper (to taste).
  • Toss the arugula with dressing, to taste, and season the greens with additional salt and pepper to taste, if desired.
  • Divide the arugula between 4 plates, then top with the mint, nuts, mozzarella, and grilled peaches. Serve immediately.

Notes

Storage Instructions
If you're planning to save leftovers, store the arugula, grilled peaches, and dressing separately to keep the greens from getting soggy. The grilled peaches and greens can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
The vinaigrette will keep in the fridge for 3–4 days in a mason jar or sealed container - just give it a shake before using.
