Ingredients

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

Directions

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.
