Summer Peach Salad

What more can be said about the beauty of a grilled ripe peach? It feels almost sinful to caramelize its outside, is it not sweet enough already? The second fruit salad here at Fruitman Kitchen, this one is a stunner. Whether broiled in an oven, (like in our grill-less Fruitman Kitchen) or charred on a wood burning grill where it truly belongs, this salad is another siren’s call for the readers wistfully yearning for a perfect summer. We don’t know what this summer brings, but we do know that you should make this salad, and eat it immediately.
