Salad:
2 medium ripe peaches, pitted and cut into wedges
1 T. olive oil
8 c. torn Bibb lettuce (from about 3 heads or 5 ½ oz.)
1 small cucumber, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
6 oz. fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced into 1/4" thick rounds
¼ c. pumpkin seeds or pepitas, toasted
Lemon-Honey Vinaigrette:
1 T. lemon zest
1/4 c. lemon juice
2 T. honey
1 small shallot, thinly sliced
1/2 t. Dijon mustard
1/4 t. salt
1/4 t. black pepper
1/4 c. olive oil
Grease the rack of a charcoal or gas grill. Preheat grill to medium heat.
Pitt peaches; cut into wedges. Lightly brush peaches with 1 T. oil. Grill directly over heat 2–4 minutes or until tender and lightly browned.* Remove from grill and set aside.
Place lettuce on a large platter, in a large bowl or divide among 6 plates. Top with cucumber slices, peach wedges, cheese rounds and toasted pumpkin seeds. Drizzle with Lemon-Honey Vinaigrette.
Lemon-Honey Vinaigrette:
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, shallot, mustard, salt and black pepper. Drizzle in olive oil, whisking constantly until well mixed.
Divide lettuce among 6 plates; top with cucumbers, peach wedges, mozzarella, and pumpkin seeds. Drizzle with dressing before serving.

*To keep peach wedges from falling between the grill grates, heat a lightly greased grill tray on the grill rack. Place the peach wedges on the grill tray and grill.
