Grilled Peach Salad with Blue Cheese and Bacon

Grilled Peach Salad with Blue Cheese and Bacon is a simple recipe that’s easy to scale for one or four or twelve. Tangy blue cheese, salty bacon, and candied walnuts will have you going back for seconds!

I originally published this recipe THREE years ago. Yes, three. If you haven’t heard, The Every Kitchen had her third birthday last week. And we definitely want to talk about and eat Grilled Peach Salad with Blue Cheese and Bacon, but for dessert we should most definitely have Rainbow Sprinkle Vanilla Icebox Cake in honor of these past three years.

The Every Kitchen hasn’t just been on hiatus. I have been on hiatus from my kitchen. Restauranting is fun friends, especially when we’re talking Chicago restauranting, but I like a home cooked something or other every once in a while. Salads don’t count.

Happy Thursday! You guys get lucky today because I’m going to chat as little as possible. Instead, I’m going to bombard you with photos — some photos of these snackies!, but lots and lots of photos of my children.

I made this Cranberry Sauce Cream Cheese Dip a few days ago and topped it with simple, 5-minute candied pecans. And that got me thinking. Pecans deserve their own place on the appetizer table and thus, their own blog post. What’s a holiday season without nuts? Why is that? Are nuts seasonal? Or did Christopher Columbus discover them when he came to America? (Kidding…!) But really, there must be a reason and I’m going to do some research and figure it all out… on another night.
