Tossed Salad with Peaches

Tossed Salad with Peaches (from Taste of Home Award Winning Recipes)

Note: Desi made this with strawberries in place of peaches. It was so good!

4 medium ripe peaches
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp cider vinegar
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 c. canola oil
6 cups spring mix salad greens
4 cups  torn romaine
1 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced
1/2 cup thinly sliced cucumber
6 bacon strips (didn't use)
1/3 c. chopped pecans, toasted

Slice three peaches; set aside. Cut the remaining peach in half; place in a blender. Add the sugar, lemon juice, vinegars and salt; cover and process until blended. While processing, gradually add oil in a steady stream.

In a large bowl, combine the salad greens, romaine, onion, and cucumber. Pour about 2/3 c. dressing over salad and toss to coat.

Transfer to a serving platter; top with sliced peaches and bacon. Drizzle with remaining dressing.
