Spinach Salad with Nectarines and Pecans

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!

Ingredients

For the salad

  • 10 ounces fresh baby spinach 2-3 handfuls per person
  • 1 large nectarine pitted and sliced
  • 1/2 cup candied pecans

For the dressing

  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp smooth or whole-grain Dijon mustard
  • pinch kosher salt
  • a few turns freshly-ground black pepper

Instructions

  • 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.
