A famous proverb has taught us that fruit and cheese are an irresistible duo. So we thought: why not try it with one of the most summery fruits? Peaches, for instance? This salad proves once again that popular wisdom never lies. Late-season peaches, sweet and juicy, meet feta, arugula and plenty of almonds.
In this lively mix of flavors, the wine has to play along too. Here are three pairings we suggest, all winning ones.
Wash the peaches well, dry them, and cut them into evenly sized wedges. Also wash the arugula and let it dry.
Meanwhile, heat a grill pan and grill the peach slices for a couple of minutes on each side.
Toast one or two handfuls of almonds in a non-stick pan or in the oven, then roughly crush them with a mortar.
In a large salad bowl, combine the arugula, grilled peaches, crumbled feta, and toasted almonds. Dress with an emulsion of olive oil, honey, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
The Grillo Chardonnay blend echoes the salad’s mood: fresh yet rounded. Its mineral, fruity sip enhances the peaches’ sweetness while balancing the feta’s saltiness.
