Just Peachy Spinach Salad
"Sweet peaches, crunchy nuts, and tangy vinaigrette. After being on a strawberry spinach salad kick lately, I thought it would be fun to vary the ingredients a little and this is what resulted. Hope you like it as much as I did. :)"

Wow! I'm not sure that 5 stars is enough! Great flavor combinations that really enhanced the peaches. It surprised us just how good it was! It was my favorite part of our peach themed meal--the balsamic peach grilled chicken was pretty good too, but paled in comparison to the salad! Thanks! -
I liked the interesting ingredients, but the balsamic vinegar was too much for my liking (perhaps if you are more of a balsamic lover??). Sorry, but it was an interesting change of pace. -
Yummy!!! I used a mango instead of peaches, and almonds instead of pine nuts. This ones a keeper, I love the dressing! -
Wonderful salad!! The dressing is outstanding. Although I used only 1 tablespoon of Dijon. I also added grape tomatoes. Thanks for a great alternative!! -
I made the recipe as stated, but found the whole thing not as taste tingling as I expected....perhaps it was the flavor of the peaches I used, but it just didn't have as much zing as I expected. It definitely was a good salad though!

This is very, very good! I added Almonds instead of Pine Nuts, and added Red and Yellow Peppers. We all thought it was just great. The dressing is very tasty. Thanks for the great recipe Canarygirl! Much appreciated!
