I posted this under healthy because it is healthy and the bacon just makes it tastier! You can make it as healthy as you want by using less or no bacon, I think it would still taste good.
I used some spring mix salad and baby spinach in place of arugula, I can never buy arugula around here. The peaches were Ohio peaches and I grilled a slice of onion for me, the wife didn’t want any.
I grilled a pound of bacon up early on my Traeger and used 6 slices in my salad. For the dressing I just used 1/3 cup of oil, I don’t care for a lot of oil in my salads. I used Feta cheese instead of goat since I had some on hand and it tastes a lot like goat cheese. I grilled the onion on my Weber Spirit for 4 min. per side and the peaches for 1 min. on the cut side. I could have had more char so next time will do for 2 minutes.
Tasted great and I think all the flavors went well together. Sorry about my photos, one was not very good and didn’t take very many of the process.

Not a single thing there that I don't like. Plate me up please! Great looking salad Don - and you put a solid amount of bacon on it too.
