Spinach Salad with Grilled Peaches, Peach Vinaigrette

Peach Spinach Salad with Peach Vinaigrette

When the Peach Truck comes to Nashville, selling the sweetest, freshest Georgia Peaches, I light the grill.

Grilled peaches are so versatile, as they go well with meat like these pork ribs or they are just as good in a salad. I also have a great peaches and pork chop recipe.

Here’s what great about throwing a spinach salad together. You can buy organic baby spinach that is already triple washed so dinner is easy. I love my kale, but that does require more prep work. Spinach doesn’t overpower the taste of the peaches; in fact, they compliment each other.

The grilling part is easy, as long as you spray your grill, or brush your peaches with a little oil. Slicing the peaches around the seed may be a bit of a challenge, but don’t give up. Just set the timer for two minutes.

I am loving my echo dot, because I just say, “Alexa set the timer for two minutes” and I don’t have to worry about the food on my hands.

I just happened to have some peach white balsamic vinegar on hand to make a peach vinaigrette, perfect for the peach spinach salad.

Peach Vinaigrette is just Peachy for a Peach Spinach Salad

I made a traditional vinaigrette, using some dijon mustard, extra virgin olive oil and peach vinegar. If you don’t have peach vinegar, you can use a good balsamic or champagne vinegar for this salad. Keep in mind that spinach is a fragile green and doesn’t require a lot of dressing.

Peaches and Corn Make a Colorful Peach Spinach Salad

If you notice, I added in some fresh corn, cut right off the cob, not cooked.

There’s a lot of ways to play with this salad. I served it with grilled salmon which was perfect. You could make it an entree salad by adding in, bacon,  crispy pancetta or prosciutto. It also goes beautifully with pork!
