Grilled Peach and Honey Vinaigrette

Here in the Peach State there are peaches everywhere you turn at this time of year. This salad dressing recipe provides a new way of using our favorite fruit. This is the time of year we are all trying to eat light. As fall, and the holidays quickly approach there are only a limited amount of days to take advantage of the peak season for fruits and vegetables. This vinaigrette gives a sweet fruity burst of flavor to any summer salad. This recipe can be made without grilling the peaches if you prefer. However, we find that the grilling process brings out a deeper flavor of the peaches and introduces subtle smoky flavors which blend well with the sweetness of the honey and peaches.

• 6 tbs lemon juice
• 1/4 cup white sugar
