Steps:
- Reserve 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice. Whisk the rest with brown sugar and vinegar until sugar dissolves. Add olive oil, honey, 1 pinch salt, and mustard. Whisk until dressing is thoroughly emulsified; set aside.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix white sugar and water in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Heat, without stirring, until sugar has melted and is just beginning to change color, 2 to 3 minutes. Add walnuts and stir to coat; turn mixture out onto the parchment paper. Season lightly with salt and allow to cool.
- Fill a medium-sized pot with enough water to submerge peach. Bring to a boil; add peach. Boil for 1 minute and turn off heat. Let sit for another minute; remove peach from water with a spider or slotted spoon. Place onto a folded towel to cool.
- Cut each avocado half into 8 slices using a small knife. Carefully remove skin. Brush avocado slices with the reserved lemon juice.
- Peel the loosened skin from the peach, taking care not to squash the flesh, and discard. Cut into 16 even slices. Carefully pry out 1 slice; remove the remaining slices from the pit. Trim away any hard bits of the stone that adhere to the center of the slices.
- Crack and separate any of the cooled candied walnuts that have stuck together. Toss them with the crumbled blue cheese.
- Divide spinach over 4 salad plates. Arrange peach and avocado on top in alternating and partially overlapping slices, forming a ring. Spoon the blue cheese-walnut mixture into the middle of each ring. Drizzle the dressing over the salads.

Tips:
- To select the ripest avocados, gently press the fruit near the stem. It should yield slightly to gentle pressure.
- To easily peel and pit an avocado, cut it in half lengthwise around the seed, then twist the halves apart. Remove the seed with a spoon, then scoop out the avocado flesh with a spoon.
- If you don't have balsamic glaze, you can make your own by simmering balsamic vinegar in a saucepan over low heat until it thickens and becomes syrupy.
- To prevent the avocado from browning, toss it with a little lemon juice or lime juice.
- For a vegetarian version of this salad, omit the chicken and add an extra cup of chickpeas.
