Time 29m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup pecans
4 ripe peaches, pitted and quartered
2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
1/2 pound hickory-smoked bacon, roughly chopped
8 cups baby spinach
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup (4 ounces) crumbled Danish blue cheese
1/4 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 teaspoon sugar
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the pecans on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until golden and fragrant, 6 minutes; roughly chop.
  • Preheat a grill to medium-high heat on one side and medium heat on the other. Lightly brush the peaches with oil and grill over medium until nicely marked, about 4 minutes per side. Meanwhile, place a flat cast-iron skillet on the grill over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook until crisp; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.
  • Combine the spinach, red onion, grilled peaches, pecans and bacon in a large bowl.
  • Make the dressing: Mash the blue cheese with a fork in a bowl. Mix in the buttermilk, sour cream, sugar, and salt and pepper to taste. Toss with the salad just before serving.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less honey in the dressing.

I'm allergic to goat cheese, so I used feta instead. It worked just as well and the salad was still delicious.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover grilled peaches. It's also a great make-ahead dish for busy weeknights.

I'm not a huge fan of spinach salads, but this one changed my mind. The grilled peaches and goat cheese really make it special.

This salad is so easy to make and it's packed with flavor. I love the contrast between the sweet peaches and the tangy goat cheese.
