I LOVED this recipe! It seems like the ingredients are odd and wont go together but they really work. I looooove the blue cheese dressing! I even featured this on my food blog at http://damegoodeats.blogspot.com/2010/09/end-of-summer-grilled-peach-spinach.html

Made this tonight along with Ina Garten's Tuscan Lemon Chicken. Both were delicious. I give the salad 4 stars rather than 5 because my husband, who prefers "sparse" salads, thought there was "too much stuff in it" (ie: he would have been happy with just the spinach and the dressing. I LOVED it though...pecans, peaches, bacon, red onions & blue cheese...what's not to love?!

The thinly sliced red onion and hickory smoked bacon were terrific. We started the peaches on the BBQ grill outside but our coals were not hot enough so I finished them on an indoor grill pan. They turned out perfectly. Grill marks and all. I made one mistake but came up with an alternative that worked out well. I only had a half a bag of baby spinach in my refrigerator and a little bit of romaine this morning. So, I went to the grocery store intending to buy more baby spinach. Tonight, when I dumped it into my salad bowl, I realized I had accidentally purchased arugula instead! Time for a trip to the eye doctor! Anyway, the arugula was really bitter and I didn't think it was an appropriate substitute. So, I switched to a mixture of the baby spinach and romaine that I had on hand, and it turned out great. The dressing was easy too. I added a tad bit more buttermilk to thin it out a bit but it was super tasty.

This is definitely a do over.

i agree with the commenter below, the dressing really made this salad. Grilled fruit is really great also, it really brings the sugar out and in front. Coupled with the tart from the blue cheese and buttermilk.

Made half the recipe for 3 of us and it was plenty. The dressing makes this salad special.

My entire family enjoyed this salad and asked me to make it again two days later.
