Fresh Peach, Walnut, and Poppy Seed Green Salad

Move over peach pie. This Fresh Peach, Walnut, and Poppy Seed Green Salad showcases summer fresh peaches like no other dish.

If you're heading to a barbecue over the Labor Day weekend, bring along this fresh green salad loaded with ripe fragrant peaches. I love it alongside anything grilled - chicken, steak, even burgers.

Bright and fragrant peaches totally make this Fresh Peach, Walnut, and Poppy Seed Green Salad.

I didn't want to let peach season pass me by before I got to enjoy this lovely salad - and I'm not much into green salads, let me tell you. I'm more of a slaw or marinated veggies kinda gal, but this is one of my favs. It is so fresh and fabulous. And it's pretty too.




Gorgeous green romaine, spinach, and sliced green onions form the perfect bed for bright and beautiful sliced peaches and toasted walnuts. All is tossed with perfectly sweet and tangy poppy seed dressing. So yum!

A drizzle of sweet and tangy poppy seed dressing is just lovely over this Fresh Peach, Walnut, and Poppy Seed Green Salad.

2. Add walnuts to a baking sheet and bake for about 7 minutes until you can smell the walnuts toasting. Watch them carefully so they don't burn. Cool walnuts and then roughly chop.
