Grilled Peach & Basil Salad
Ripe peaches take about ninety seconds a side on a hot grill before they turn soft and a little smoky. Torn basil and shaved cheddar are the whole rest of the dish.

Method
- 01
Heat a grill or a cast-iron skillet over medium-high until it is genuinely hot.
- 02
Brush the cut side of each peach half with a little oil and set it down cut-side first. Do not move it for 90 seconds.
- 03
Flip and cook the skin side for another minute, until the peach has softened but still holds its shape.
- 04
Arrange the peaches on a platter, scatter the basil and cheddar over the top, and drizzle with honey.
- 05
Finish with flaky salt and a few turns of black pepper. Serve within the hour — grilled peaches do not wait well.
