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.

The dressing was a bit too tangy for my taste, I added a little honey to balance it out.

Used nectarines instead of peaches, turned out great! Definitely making this again.

Followed the recipe but my peaches didn't caramelize as nicely. Not sure what I did wrong.

Not a fan of goat cheese. So, I omitted it and added crumbled blue cheese instead. Still turned out great!

This spinach salad with grilled peaches was an absolute delight! The combination of sweet, smoky peaches, tangy goat cheese, and crunchy walnuts was divine. I followed the recipe exactly and the results were spot-on. 5 stars all the way!
