Best Grilled Peach Salad
The taste of fresh peaches is one of my favorite things about summer. As soon as they’re in season, I love going to the store or a farmer’s market with my family and picking up ripe peaches to make all kinds of meals or even to peel and freeze for later in the year!

Salad with Grilled Peaches FAQs
Grilling peaches soften the flesh of the peach and draw out the sugars, resulting in caramelized, soft peaches that are incredibly flavorful.
You do not need to peel peaches to grill them. However, if you prefer to remove the peach skins, you can. Follow my guide on How to Peel Peaches if you’d like to peel the peaches first.
A peach should be ripe but still firm before placing it on the grill. If your peaches are too soft already, they may soften too much when grilling. So make sure to choose a firm peach, but not an unripe one.
If your peaches are still a little ripe and you want to ripen them to grill, you can place them in a brown paper bag and close it tightly. You can add another fruit, such as an apple or a banana, to help ripen the peaches more quickly. Leave it on the counter and allow the peaches to ripen for 24 hours – but you should check sooner than that to make sure they aren’t becoming overripe.

How to Make Grilled Peach Salad
How to Grill Peaches
- Cut peaches into slices and toss gently with oil.
- Grill for 2-3 minutes on each side until the peaches have gentle grill marks on both sides.
- Remove and set aside.
Making Vinaigrette
- Add olive oil, orange juice, dijon mustard, and sugar to a bowl, and mix thoroughly until combined. Alternatively, you can add it to a jar and shake it to mix, or to a salad dressing bottle.
Preparing Salad with Peaches
- Layer arugula (or greens of choice) in a salad serving bowl.
- Add a layer of sugar snap peas with the tops and bottoms trimmed.
- Top salad with grilled peaches. I like to fan them out around the salad to show off the grill marks.
- Add blueberries on top along with your dressing.
- Top with sliced almonds and shaved parmesan. Serve, and enjoy!
Substitute for Peaches
If peaches aren’t in season, grilled pineapple is absolutely delicious with this salad recipe! Mix it up and give this recipe a try with your favorite fruit. Also, try my Watermelon Pizza during the summer! It is so refreshing and delicious.
