Peach Blueberry Spinach Salad

Summer Vibes in a Bowl: Peach Blueberry Spinach Salad

Okay, friends, have you ever had one of those days where you just wanna throw something fresh together, but like, you want it to be fancy too? Like, “look at me being all gourmet!” Well, this Peach Blueberry Spinach Salad is *that* vibe. And it’s sooo easy!

Okay, so, let’s get into it!

Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

Alright, picture this: you’re at the grocery store, and I’m there with you, bouncing around like a kid in a candy store. First up, you gotta grab some pecans—they’re like the crunchy magic that takes this salad to the next level. Then, you need prosciutto—you can’t go wrong with that salty goodness, trust me.

Next, those yellow peaches—don’t skimp, get the juicy ones! I usually go for 2 medium-sized, but let’s be real, if you find some super ripe ones, grab an extra! And then we can’t forget about blueberries—the little bursts of sweetness are a must.

Oh, and spinach! Just a nice handful, really. Last but definitely not least, we need some balsamic glaze! (Or reduction if you’re feeling extra fancy.) Seriously, this stuff is like liquid gold.

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

Okay, story time! So, last summer, I had my fam over for a BBQ, right? It was one of those hot days where you just wanna be outside, sipping on lemonade and pretending you’re on a beach somewhere. Well, I whipped this salad up and, OMG, it was so refreshing! Everyone was raving about it. Like, I was basically the Gordon Ramsay of summer salads (minus the yelling).

I mean, it’s colorful, it’s packed with flavor, and it brings back all those warm, fuzzy picnic vibes. Plus, it’s super versatile—great as a side or just eat it for lunch while binge-watching your favorite show. (Totally did that last week… no regrets.)

The One Trick That Changes Everything

Here’s the *real* game-changer: when you grill those peaches! Seriously, just slice ’em in half, toss ’em on the grill for a few minutes, and BAM! You get those lovely char marks and a smoky sweetness that makes everyone wonder if you’re secretly a pro chef. (Spoiler: you’re not, but it’s our little secret.)

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

Listen up! I’ve had my fair share of kitchen disasters, and I don’t want you to suffer like I did.

1. Don’t overthink the balsamic glaze—too much and it gets all sticky and weird. Just drizzle enough to *enhance* the salad, not drown it.
2. Chill your ingredients before mixing. I mean, who wants a warm salad? Gross.
3. Taste as you go! Seriously, if you feel like it needs more crunch, add more pecans. If it’s too sweet, a pinch of salt can balance it out.

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

Alright, if you have leftovers (which is a big *if*), you can store that in the fridge for a day or two. Just keep the dressing separate, or it’ll get all soggy and sad. Nobody wants a sad salad. Just toss it back together when you’re ready to eat!
