Grilled Asparagus and Peach Salad

Instructions

1. 1

   Cut the cheese into slices about 1 cm (1/2 inch) thick. Halve the slices crosswise.

2. 2

   If desired, soak the cheese in cold water for about 1 hour to remove some of the salt. Drain.

3. 3

   Preheat the grill, setting the burners to high.

5. 5

   In a bowl, toss the asparagus, peaches, cheese and oil. Grill the asparagus and the peaches for about 3 minutes per side. Season with salt and pepper. Let cool.

6. 6

   Grill the pancetta for about 3 minutes per side.

7. 7

   Grill the cheese until dark brown grill marks appear, about 1 minute per side.

8. 8

   Arrange the asparagus, peaches, pancetta and cheese on 4 plates. Drizzle with the balsamic reduction to taste.
