FRESH PEACH SALAD

Steps:

• Add the oil, vinegar, honey and mustard to a jar with a lid. Add the shallot and season with salt and pepper. Close the jar and shake until combined. (See Cook's Note.)
• Layer the peaches, pecans, Gouda and arugula in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the top, then toss until everything is coated. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve immediately.

BASIL PEACH SALAD DRESSING.

Steps:

• Mix together all of the ingredients except the peach.
• Peel the skin off the peach by putting it in boiling water for about 30 seconds, then dunk it in cool water.
• Slice the fruit, and mash it together to make a kind of paste. If you want a less chunky texture you can do this in a food processor or blender. I just squished it with a fork.
• Mix the vinaigrette mixture into the peach until well combined and use as a salad dressing. :).

FRESH PEACH SALAD WITH RASPBERRY VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Combine vinegar, 2 tablespoons olive oil, honey, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper in a bowl and mix until well combined. Crush raspberries in a bowl using a fork and add to the vinaigrette.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Lightly brush the cut surfaces of the peaches with vinaigrette. Cook on the preheated grill until browned, about 5 minutes.
• Place chicken on a cutting board and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Cook on the hot grill until browned, 4 to 5 minutes; brush cooked side with vinaigrette. Flip and cook until browned on the second side and no longer pink in the center, 4 to 5 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Brush second side with vinaigrette.
• Slice grilled peaches and grilled chicken and place in a bowl. Add tomatoes, mixed greens, cucumber, red onion, and pecans. Drizzle salad with remaining vinaigrette and mix thoroughly.
