Spinach Salad with Peaches & Pecans

I love finding recipes that are easy, simple, and delicious! Here's a couple I found on allrecipes.com. Since peaches are in season... it will taste even better.

Spinach Salad with Peaches & Pecans

(click on link to see recipe on allrecipes.com - by the way... I'm user mdawne2 and submitted the picture they have on the site for this recipe... :) )

INGREDIENTS:

• 3/4 cup pecans
• 2 ripe peaches
• 4 cups baby spinach, rinsed and dried
• 1/4 cup poppyseed salad dressing (recipe I used is below, or you can just buy one)
  

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Arrange pecans on a single layer on a baking sheet and roast in preheated oven for 7-10 minutes, until they just begin to darken. Remove from oven and set aside. (I didn't do this step because it is too hot in St. George to heat up my oven/house for just this...)
   
2. Peel peaches (if desired) and slice into bite-sized segments. Combine peaches, spinach and pecans in a large bowl. Toss with dressing until evenly coated, adding a little additional dressing, if necessary. (I drizzled it on top instead.)
