Instructions

1. 1.
   Preheat your grill to medium heat. While the grill is heating, slice the peach in half and remove the pit. Ensure you have a clean, lightly oiled grill grate to prevent sticking. Grill the peach halves for about 3-4 minutes per side until they have prominent grill marks and are slightly softened. This enhances their natural sweetness and adds a smoky flavor.
2. 2.
   While the peach cools, slice the avocado in half and remove the pit. Carefully slice the avocado into thin slices. Ensure your knife is sharp to avoid crushing the avocado, which could ruin its texture in the salad. Set aside.
3. 3.
   On a serving plate, arrange 2 cups of mixed greens. These can be baby spinach, arugula, or a spring mix, providing a fresh, crisp base for your salad. Place the grilled peach halves, now cool enough to handle, directly onto the greens. Slice if desired for easier eating.
4. 4.
   Scatter 2 tablespoons of crumbled feta cheese over the salad. The feta adds a creamy, tangy element that complements the sweetness of the peach and the richness of the avocado. If you prefer a milder flavor, consider using goat cheese as an alternative.
5. 5.
   Finish by drizzling 1 tablespoon of balsamic glaze over the entire salad. The glaze brings sweetness and acidity, tying all the flavors together. Serve immediately to enjoy the vibrant colors and fresh, contrasting textures. If any component of the salad tastes too strong, a small sprinkle of sea salt can help balance the flavors.
