Summer Peach Spinach Salad – La Cucina di Kerrs

We had a fun visit to our local Farmer’s Market this weekend and picked up some fresh local fruit, veg & goodies, including a new bunch of peaches, which are at peak season right now.  They don’t last long around here, but I do try to incorporate them into our meals if I can snag a few away.  Now, there are two types of people – those who like fruit in their salad and those that don’t. If you’re the latter like #DadChef, try this salivation-inducing Summer Peach Spinach Salad even he gobbles up without hesitation!  We’ve had it on repeat this Summer!
