Preheat grill (BBQ) to medium. Lightly brush peach slices on both sides and place cut side down on hot grill for about 5 minutes per side. Peaches will be done when grill marks appear and peaches become slightly soft. Transfer to plate and cool.

Cut the peach lengthwise all around, then gently twist the two halves apart to expose the pit.
For added protein, this grilled peach salad pairs well with grilled chicken or salmon.
This salad can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the fridge. Hold pecans and dressing until right before serving.
