Grilled Peach Salad with Mint Pesto Directions

Transfer to a dish and allow to cool to room temperature.
- Combine the mint and basil in the bowl of a food proccessor. Add the 1/4 cup of olive oil, toasted pine nuts, chopped garlic, lemon juice, and lemon zest, a pinch of red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper. Pulse until smooth. If the pesto seems too dry, add a bit of water, a teaspoon at a time.
- Toss the arugula with a drizzle of olive oil and arrange on a serving platter. Top with the grilled peaches, dollops of the mint pesto, and serve.
