When it comes to summer salads, ingredients don't get much more seasonal than this tasty Grilled Pork, Peach and Corn Salad.

I think that's part of the charm, that there's only a small window in the year when you can make it. But when you do, gosh it's good! Although the grilled peach may feel unusual, trust me - it makes the salad.

How to make Pork and Peach salad:

Place the marinade ingredients into a shallow dish and mix to combine. Add the pork steaks and coat on each side. Leave to marinate for 10 minutes. Place the corn, still in the husk, in the microwave for 5 minutes. Remove the husk ready to BBQ.

Cook the pork on the BBQ for 6 minutes on one side and turn over and grill for a further 2 minutes or until cooked through. Set aside to rest. Grill the peach halves and corn cobs at the same time as the pork, until slightly charred then remove.

Recipe FAQs:

What can I use in place of pork steaks?

I've also made this salad with pork loin. It looks so impressive laid out on top of the salad.

Can I use other stone fruit?

Absolutely. Yellow flesh peaches could be substituted for white flesh peaches or even nectarines.
