Grilled Peach Salad


This summer we have had some amazing peaches available all around from the grocery stores to the local orchards it has been a good year. To celebrate momma Linda's birthday last weekend I decided to make a peach inspired meal and this dish got the meal started off amazingly well. I even broke out my parents wedding china to make the meal even more special. Isn't their china pattern beautiful?!?!?
Ok back to the salad. This salad was very flavorful I especially LOVED the dressing. The combination of greens and toasted nuts provided a great crunch in contrast to the soft warm peaches and the pops of sweetness from the blueberries. I do believe the next time I make it I will go dinner sized and add some grilled chicken.
