Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the grill to a medium-low temperature. Coat the peaches on both sides with the melted butter using a brush.

2. 2

   Grill the peaches with the lid down until they develop a charred exterior and become tender, about 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Once grilled, cut each half into quarters and then set them aside for later use.

3. 3

   Begin by combining lemon juice and olive oil in a sizable bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste, then whisk the mixture together until well blended.
