Summer is in full swing, so it’s time to embrace the season’s bounty of fresh berries, greens and my personal favorite, stone fruit. From peaches to plums, I fill my summertime menus with stone fruits any way I can. My favorite way to enjoy peaches? Grilled! Grilling brings out the natural sugars in peaches, caramelizing the juicy flesh and making it the perfect addition to summer dips, salads and even kebabs. Peaches are dressed with olive oil and lemon juice before grilling, and top I like to top them with creamy, tangy labneh (a thick yogurt cheese), and garnished with fresh mint, pistachios and honey.
Eat this with pita or on its own as an appetizer — there’s no wrong to enjoy this summer dish!
