Ingredients

2 firm ripe peaches, halved, pits removed
2 firm ripe plums, halved, pits removed
2 firm ripe apricots, halved, pits removed
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 container (5 oz/140 g) baby arugula
4 oz (125 g) crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup chopped roasted, salted almonds

Steps

1

Heat gas or charcoal grill. Brush cut sides of peaches, plums and apricots with melted butter. Place fruit cut sides down on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 2 to 3 minutes or until grill marks form; turn 90°F, and cook 2 to 3 minutes longer to make perpendicular grill marks.
2

Transfer fruit to cutting board; let cool 5 minutes or until cool enough to handle. Cut fruit into wedges.
3

Meanwhile, in large bowl, beat olive oil, honey, lemon juice, salt and pepper with whisk. Reserve 1/4 cup of vinaigrette in container; set aside. Add arugula to large bowl of remaining vinaigrette; toss to coat. Transfer to serving platter. Return reserved vinaigrette to large bowl; add grilled fruit, and toss to coat.
4

Top arugula mixture with grilled fruit, cheese and almonds.

Can’t find each of the fruits in a perfectly ripe state? Feel free to substitute more of any of the fruits for each other.
Not a fan of feta? Goat cheese makes a great substitute.
