Peppy Peach Spinach Salad

This is a great summer salad. Serve it for a girl’s luncheon along with fresh croissants from the bakery. It’s also great at an outdoor starter for your BBQ. The light, fresh flavor works well with the heavier BBQ meats or fish. Also, try this in the winter with apple slices (with chopped red onion) or mandarin oranges instead of the peaches.

Ingredients

¼ cup sugar (or raw honey)
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
¼ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
10 ounces fresh spinach
4 cups sliced peaches or nectarines
¼ cup feta or blue cheese
¼ cup walnuts halves

Directions

Mix dressing in a small bowl or food processor. Combine sugar/honey, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, paprika and Worcestershire sauce. Mix thoroughly.

Combine the spinach, peaches, blue cheese and walnut halves.

Keep dressing and salad separate in refrigerator until ready to serve. Pour dressing over salad, toss and serve. Serves 4.
