Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados, diced into bite-sized pieces

2 juicy peaches, pitted and sliced into thin wedges

4 cups fresh baby spinach, thoroughly washed and dried

1/4 cup red onion, finely sliced for a mild bite

1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional for a creamy saltiness)

1/4 cup walnuts or pecans, lightly toasted for added crunch

1/4 cup pomegranate seeds (optional, for an extra pop of sweetness and crunch)

Juice of 1 ripe lime for zing

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil for richness

1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for a vegan alternative) for sweetness

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dressing: In a small mixing bowl, combine the lime juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and a generous amount of black pepper. Whisk the mixture vigorously until all ingredients are well blended and emulsified. Set this flavorful dressing aside for later.

    Prep the Ingredients: In a large salad bowl, add the washed and dried baby spinach. Gently layer in the diced avocados, sliced peaches, and the slivers of red onion, ensuring the vibrant colors are visible.

      Add Cheese and Nuts: If using feta cheese, sprinkle the crumbled pieces over the salad. Add the toasted walnuts or pecans for crunch, and if you're incorporating pomegranate seeds, toss those in now for an added burst of flavor.

        Dress the Salad: Drizzle the reserved dressing evenly over the salad. Using salad tongs or two large spoons, gently toss the salad, ensuring every component is lightly coated with the dressing while being careful to keep the avocado pieces intact.

          Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving platter or bowl and garnish with a few extra pomegranate seeds or walnuts on top for visual appeal. Serve immediately as a refreshing side dish or a light lunch, delighting in the harmonious blend of flavors and textures!
