Ingredients

  • teaspoons dijon mustard 
  • teaspoons honey 
  •  nectarines whole pitted halved
  • 0.5 cup olive oil 
  • ounces the salad good (1 Bag Or Box) ( Spring Mix)
  • servings salt and pepper black to taste
  • 0.5 cup slivered almonds 
  • teaspoons citrus champagne vinegar 

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • whisk
  • grill

Directions

  1. Drizzle nectarine halves with a little olive oil. Grill cut side down for 2-3, turning midway to achieve lovely grill marks. Set aside. In a bowl, whisk together Dijon, vinegar, honey, and sugar.
  2. Whisk in 1/2 olive oil to emulsify.
  3. Add salt and pepper and mix. Toast slivered almonds in a small skillet over medium-low heat until just turning golden brown. In a large bowl, toss lettuce with enough of the dressing to lightly coat (you won't use all of the dressing; save to have another salad tomorrow!) Toss in warm toasted almonds. Divide lettuce among four plates.
  4. Place a nectarine half on each serving.
  5. Drizzle nectarine with a little more dressing. With a fork, cut blue cheese into chunks and distribute among the four plates. * Grill more fruit if you'd like each plate to have two halves instead.
