Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 firm but ripe peaches
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp good balsamic
  • 3-4 cups baby arugula
  • 1 package fresh mozzarella balls
  • 1/4 cup pesto
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Slice the peaches and toss them with the olive oil. Heat a heavy skillet or cast iron pan until very hot and add the peaches. Allow to char a bit on one side, then flip and char the other side. Move to a bowl and toss with the balsamic and a light sprinkle of salt. Allow to cool before adding to the salad. You can also grill these if you like.
  • Mix the pesto with the buttermilk and season with salt and pepper. Toss the arugula and mozzarella in a serving dish and then add a little dressing and toss again. Add the cooled peaches and a bit more dressing if desired. Serve.
