Grilled Peach Salad with Spinach and Raspberries image

Right before your grilled entree comes off the grill, throw some peaches on for the salad. The caramelization adds a dimension of flavor and appearance to the peaches. Put them on a bed of fresh spinach, add raspberries and a good vinaigrette, and some almonds, too, for crunch.

1 1/2 teaspoons minced peeled fresh gingerroot
1 garlic clove, minced and mashed to a paste with 1/4 teaspoon salt
