Oh salad, how I love you.
I love searching through my pantry and fridge for a bunch of fun ingredients and turning it into a delicious creation. I have become such a salad snob that I will no longer eat store bought dressing. Now I make a simple vinaigrette every time I have a salad, which is at least one a day.
The addition of avocado instantly makes any salad tastier and creamier.
I decided to grill the avocado and peach because, why not. I have been experimenting with a few grilled fruit and avocado recipes this summer and I’m really liking the results
I enjoy the warmed peaches, avocado, and spinach combination.
