US - Metric

Instructions

Place all the ingredients for the vinaigrette in a bowl or tall glass, and emulsify the vinaigrette with a handheld blender. Set aside.
Grill the peaches under a broiler or over a grill pan for a few minutes. They will soften and ensure that they will not overcook and fall apart.
In a large salad plate, arrange a layer of the salad, add the peaches over it, and then the goat cheese in small slices or chunks over it. Sprinkle the shaved red onions over it.
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and serve.

Equipment

Notes

I use a handheld mixer to create the vinaigrette, as it emulsifies it faster and renders it very creamy. Give it a few quick whisks before adding it to your sliced peaches and salad. The oil's heaviness will break down once it sits for a few minutes.

You can grill your peaches indoors with the help of a grill pan.
