This salad is worth making a double recipe of the Honey-Brushed Grilled Nectarines once you have the grill fired up! Serve the extras over yogurt or ice cream for a sweet treat.
2 nectarines, halved and pitted
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 recipe Simple Arugula Salad with Lemon (or 4 cups arugula leaves, cleaned and dried)
¼ cup thinly sliced fresh basil
¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
2 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
1 tablespoon pecans, toasted and chopped
Heat grill to medium. Brush cut side of nectarine with oil and place cut-side down on the grill. Grill for 6-8 minutes and remove to a plate, cut side up. Brush cut side with honey.
Toss together arugula, basil and red onion and divide amongst 4 plates. Top with nectarines, blue cheese and nuts.
