People always ask what kind of peaches are best for grilling.
Personally, when peaches are in season, I am buying them.
I love eating peaches and I like including them in my recipes.
What matters most in this recipe is how firm the peaches are.
Since the peaches are grilled, you should use a firm peach that will hold up when grilling.
Also, more ripened peaches tend to break down faster thanks to the sugar in them, which also makes them better for eating as is!
This is a grilled peach salad which is vegan.
The ingredients in the salad itself are all vegan.
This salad is really about the peaches.
You are welcome to add nonvegan ingredients to your salad.
A simple sprinkling of cheese such as feta crumbles would work in this salad.

An easy cheat would be to use a prepackaged spring mix which is usually heavy in arugula.
Here are some more great tips for you.
- When grilling the peaches, it is really more important to get the grill marks on the peaches rather than achieving a golden or brown color. The grilling should make a tender and tasty peach rather than a crisp peach.

- This recipe for salad can be made in advance. You can keep the grilled peach salad in the refrigerator for up to two days. Simple store it in an air tight container in the refrigerator..
