Grilled Peaches, Bitter Greens, and Goat Cheese Salad
From Positively Green
60g/1/2 cup pecans
4 firm, ripe freestone peaches, halved and pitted
45ml/2 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
15ml/1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
85g/3 ounces arugula, large stems discarded
One head frisée, torn into bite-size pieces (4 cups)
85g/3 ounces Cabrales cheese (or goat cheese), crumbled (1 cup)
1. Light a grill. Put the pecans on a sheet of aluminum foil and fold into a small pouch. Place on the grill and toast for 7 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Transfer the pecans 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 frisée and toss well. Transfer the salad to a platter and scatter the blue cheese and toasted pecans on top. Arrange the peaches around the salad and serve.

RE Dawson-- The original article has blue cheese. I prefer goat cheese, so I posted the article with that modification. Sorry for the confusion. Both cheeses are salty enough to balance the peaches-- it's just a matter of personal preference.

The name of the recipe says goat cheese, and the body of recipe says blue cheese. I wonder which is better ... and what they intended.
