Recipe Box, Peachy Spinach Salad with Bacon and Buttery Almonds
Here’s an easy and delicious salad, featuring ripe summer peaches,
that is perfect for an end of summer dinner
Baby spinach, romaine lettuce, fresh peaches, red grapes,
crispy bacon, buttery almonds, bleu cheese
and poppy seed dressing…
Quite a yummy combination!
With or without bacon, it’s a winning combo~
and if you don’t like bleu cheese, sub any cheese you like
I always opt for bacon,
and you could even add cooked chicken to make it even heartier
I used Brianna’s Poppy Seed Dressing,
it’s a light dressing with just a touch of sweet
that compliments the variety of ingredients
Serve it with a delicious Cheesy Zucchini Biscuit!

Crispy bacon bits and buttery almonds make such wonderful toppings!
Thanks Angie, I love those buttery almonds!
Jersey peaches are in their full glory right now. I think I will make this with chicken for a nice cool dinner on a hot day. Thanks Jena.
Thanks Bernadette, don’t you wish peach season was longer, fresh summer peaches are such a treasure!
I love bleu cheese and have some I need to use. Spinach already on hand as well, so this may be an easy kick. thanks!
Thanks Leslie Anne, enjoy!
I am going to have to add this to my menu this month!! I love that poppy seed dressing and I’m always looking for a tasty salad recipe to go with it. I love fresh peaches on a salad!
Thanks Stacie, it’s nothing fancy but it sure is good!
I would love this salad for lunch while fresh peaches are plentiful and I will definitely add bacon for a treat. I plan a visit to the farmer’s market this weekend for peaches and spinach. Yummy recipe!
Thanks Emily, the peaches are so good right now!
Peaches and bacon are a winning combination in this fabulous looking salad. Peaches are my favorite summer fruit and bacon makes everything better. I love Brianna’s dressings. Happy Thursday, Jenna!
Thanks Pam, I wish peach season was longer, enjoy while we can! I love Brianna’s dressings too, so many great ones!
Oh that looks good Jenna!! I love all the ingredients on their own, and together they’d be spectacular! Yum! Printing and pinning!
Thanks Barbara!
Looks and sounds so yummy with summer peaches Jenna! Happy Thursday! ♥
Thanks Mary 🍑
Wonderful choice of great ingredients . . . yummy!
Thanks, I love a loaded salad for dinner 😋
The salad sounds good and the little cheesy zucchini biscuit looks like the perfect accompaniment.
Thank you Linda, I’ve got to make those biscuits again soon, they are so good!
Sounds so delicious (minus bleu cheese, lol) and yes, of course bacon! Salads are so refreshing on hot, sticky days. Thanks Jenna.
This looks really delicious!
Thank you Dorothy, have a lovely weekend!
Such a delicious salad for summer. peaches and bacon, who knew? I do love Brianna’s salad dressings. i would also remove the bleu cheese off my salad. You are full of wonderful recipes.
I love to combine fruit with savory ingredients in salads, so good! Thanks Linda, and yes, skip the bleu cheese if it’s not to your taste~
I tried to find fresh peaches today. No luck, but a second market tomorrow. This looks terrific!
I hope you can find some Jeanie, peach season is almost over!
I’m always up for a yummy salad, Jenna, and yours sounds just peachy! Thank you!
Thank you Kitty, I love salads full of lots of goodies!
Yum, this sounds and looks delicious – I never would have thought of peaches with bacon. I might just have to check out the farmer’s market this weekend. I’m thinking I could probably sub some herb and garlic goat cheese for the bleu cheese. Thanks for such an interesting salad recipe. Pinned!
Sure Kim, I think you could sub just about any cheese you like, or skip cheese altogether. I love to combine fruit in salads with savory ingredients like bacon.
This looks good! I’ve always been a weirdo, afraid to try fruit in salads bc I wasn’t sure if the sweet combo would taste good. It certainly looks good through! I’m going to get up the nerve & try it! Thanks for sharing on Crafty Creators!
