The moment peak-season peaches hit the stands, this salad takes top priority. Juicy peaches and fresh blueberries mingle with tender sliced chicken over a bed of crisp baby spinach. Finished with creamy goat cheese, fresh blueberries, toasted pecans, and a light honey-mustard dressing, it strikes that sweet, rich, and tangy balance in every bite.
