Recipe: Grilled Toigo Peach Salad with Radicchio, Goat Cheese and Yuzu Vinaigrette


Equinox Restaurant's Chef Karen Nicolas was named one of the Best New Chefs of 2012 by Food and Wine Magazine.  For almost two decades, Co-Owner/Chef Todd Gray has been renowned for cultivating and training the city’s top culinary talent. Nicolas is yet another testimony to Chef Gray’s skill as a mentor, teacher, and coach to D.C.’s next generation of chefs.


To celebrate, Todd and Ellen Gray hosted a lovely BBQ featuring the most fresh and tasty peach salad.  It was so nice to see friendly faces after just getting off the plane from Taiwan.  Make this recipe at home!

Peaches:
pit and cut into 6 wedges
lightly grill both sides of each wedge
