Description
One of my favorite go-to summer salads is this fresh peach spinach salad with creamy goat cheese, heart-healthy avocado and crunchy toasted almonds. Drizzle this lovely peach salad with an easy homemade balsamic vinaigrette for the perfect lunch!
Ingredients
Scale
4–6 cups organic spinach
2 large peaches, sliced
1 avocado, diced
1/2 small red onion, very thinly sliced
1/2 cup goat cheese crumbles (or sub feta)
1/2 cup sliced toasted almonds*
For the dressing:
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
Optional: 1-2 teaspoon sugar, pure maple syrup or honey to sweeten dressing
Freshly ground salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinaigrette: balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, dijon and salt and pepper. Add a sweetener here if you’d like here too. I always prefer to!
- In a large bowl, add the spinach. Drizzle with desired about of balsamic vinaigrette and toss together to combine. Top salad with peach slices, diced/sliced avocado, red onion, goat cheese crumbles and toasted almonds. Toss very gently again. Serve immediately. Salad serves 4.
