Assembly

Step 1
Heat your grill on high, and add the seasoned fruit.

The figs will cook the fastest, in about 2 minutes. Remove the peaches once they get solid char marks on both fleshy sides, about 6 minutes. Remove the zucchini once they've charred and softened, about 8 minutes.

Step 2
Toss everything in the emulsified vinaigrette and garnish before serving!

Note: This was delicious straight off the grill, but you can absolutely leave everything to marinade in the dressing and refrigerate before serving, too!

4 Peaches, quartered
2 Zucchini, cut in 2" Obliques
