A simple spinach salad recipe dressed up with sliced nectarines, sweet candied pecans, and tangy balsamic vinaigrette. This salad goes with everything, is easy to throw together, and gives you a creative way to use gorgeous late summer stone fruit!
To prepare the dressing, combine all ingredients—olive oil, vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper—in a mason jar or liquid measuring cup. Shake or whisk until thoroughly-combined. Set aside.
To assemble the salad, combine spinach, nectarines, and pecans in a large serving bowl. Pour on about half the dressing, and toss to combine. The spinach should be lightly coated. Taste, add more dressing as desired, and serve.
