Salad Ingredients:
- 3 peaches, de-seeded, cut Into wedges
- 1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

Dressing Ingredients:
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/3 cup chopped parsley
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

Directions
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat and brush with olive oil. Brush each peach segment with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
