Grilled Peaches 2 Ways: Salad + Pizza


Hi Friends!
In my opinion, summer is all about grilling – something quick, easy and packed with flavor for those evenings with friends out back, escapes to cool water, weekends at the beach house and more. This recipe is everything you need and more for your weekend getaway – why? Well because it’s a 2 in 1 combo recipe!

After looking through everyone’s ideas last week during our community chats, I literally could not decide what to make. There were so many amazing ideas and they all started sparking concepts. So I thought – well, it’s summer. Everyone’s crazy busy, on vacation, gearing up for school soon – the list goes on. What’s needed right now is something, light, super delicious and seasonal and most of all – easy.

What I love about this combo recipe is that you can make one or the other or BOTH! Makes the perfect spread for last minute guests. I typically love making my own pizza dough, but for the sake of ease, picked up Naan for this recipe and it was the perfect choice. All you have to do is top and grill – just until the cheese melts. The most time consuming part of this recipe is grilling peaches and that only takes 3-6 minutes.

I hope you enjoy this recipe and have some fun summer adventuring in front of you! Make sure to share your cooking with #ckweekends. And thanks to ALL of you who contributed to this week’s recipe!! Seriously, what an incredible community effort!
