If you don’t already know by my blog name (Healthy Little Peach), I am obsessed with peaches. I not only call all my friends “Peaches” but I love eating them. This Grilled Peach Steak Salad is absolutely perfect for summer. It is so fresh and light and the peaches gives it a sweetness that pairs perfectly with the savory bacon and flank steak. It is also Whole30, Paleo and Gluten Free compliant.
In addition, my peach vinaigrette dressing is my new favorite EVERYTHING. I told my husband he better keep a eye on me because he may catch me in the kitchen drinking it. Yeah ya’ll, its that flipping good.
Sweet and savory meals are so delightful, especially in the summer when there are so many seasonal veggie and fruit options available. Peaches are in season in the summer so I try to incorporate them in my dishes as much as possible in the summer months. I use them a lot in desserts, but I am a big fan of them grilled and thrown on top of a salad such as this simple Grilled Peach Steak Salad. You wouldn’t think grilling them would change the taste that much, but it brings out even more flavor. The grill will caramelize them and makes them even sweeter.
To build this beautiful summer salad, I use crisp arugula, fresh red onions, pecans, crispy bacon and avocados. I try to keep the ingredients pretty simple because adding too much can take away from the salad instead of actually adding to it. The Peach Vinaigrette is the show stopper in this dish though, it adds a crazy amount of flavor.
The peach in the dressing gives it the right amount of sweetness without making it too overpowering and the coconut aminos gives it a beautiful balance. It is the perfect savory and sweet dressing that would be good on any salad, protein or veggies. If you bought peaches at your local farmer’s market and are needing a yummy recipe, give this tasty summer salad and dressing a try.
How long does this Peach Vinaigrette lasts in the fridge?
If I have extra of this dressing or if I whip up some on Sunday meal prep, I will store in a glass Weck Jar for about a week. It’s always important to
What kind of steak is best to use on this Grilled Peach Steak Salad?
For this Grilled Peach Steak Salad, I used flank steak and it turned out so tender. Although this is the specific cut I used for this recipe, you can also use a sirloin or skirt steak. These are all really clean cuts with minimal fat and slice very nicely to add to a salad.

Peach Vinaigrette
- 1 large Peach
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1/4 cup light olive oil
- 4 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard ( I like Annies)

Instructions
- In a large ziplock bag, add 1 flank steak. In a small bowl add ½ cup coconut aminos, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper, and 1 tsp garlic. Mix together with a fork until combined. Pour the marinade into the bag with the flank steak. Let this bag marinate in the refrigerator overnight for best taste.
- Get the grill ready by coating with a little bit of cooking spray and turn on to 425°F
- Remove the flank steak from the fridge and let sit for about 10 minutes before cooking.
- While the grill is heating and the flank steak is resting to room temperature, slice the peaches, onions and avocados and sit to the side.
- To make the dressing, add the peach removing the pit, 2 garlic cloves, light olive oil, white wine vinegar, salt, pepper, Dijon mustard, and the coconut aminos to a food processor or blender. Blend until creamy.
- Remove the flank steak from the marinade and add to the grill. In addition, add the 2 slices of compliant bacon on top of aluminum foil along with the peach slices to the grill.
- Cook the flank steak 7-8 minutes on each side for medium (slightly pink). Remove the bacon from the grill after 8-10 minutes and remove the peaches once they have nice grill marks.
- Transfer the flank steak to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes covered with aluminum foil.
- Start building the salad. Add the arugula mix to a serving platter then add the onions, pecans, crumbled bacon, avocados, grilled peaches and drizzle with the peach vinaigrette.

This was dinner for tonight. It was DELICIOUS!! Thank you!
Soooo good. I’ve made this multiple times this summer.
This recipe is summer on a plate! Its so refreshing, light, and tasty! The dressing is hands down one of the best that I have ever had on a salad. It is versatile and I make it quite often to throw on other things. While this recipe says the dressing stays good for a week or so, I don’t think it’s ever lasted that long in our house 🙂 As I have mentioned on other reviews, Ashley’s recipes are so flexible to fit what you may already have in your fridge. I never have arugula on hand because unfortunately my husband does not like it, however this salad worked perfectly over green leaf lettuce and prosciutto. Overcome and adapt! So, so good!
This. was. perfect. I don’t think I’ve ever had a salad anywhere that was a good as this. The peach vinneagrete was freaking delicious. It is for sure a new family favorite.
Thank you Amanda! I am so happy you loved it
Absolutely delicious. Loved the flavor profile and the vinaigrette was creamy and complimented the salad perfectly. For me and my family, it was a bit heavy on the red onion. Do you happen to have the nutrition values? We will definite be making this again
Our go to steak salad. We eat this multiple times a month during peach season. HIGHLY recommend. 🙂
Thanks Christina!!! Love your kind words of support!!
Used nectarines (what I had on hand) and both pecans and shelled pistachios (ran out of pecans). My husband declared it the best salad he had ever had!
YAY BARB!!!!!!!!!!!! So over the moon you now have a favorite salad recipe on hand. Thank you so much for the positive feedback.
