Grilled Peach Salad with Bacon

1/2 cup walnuts
4 slices thick cut bacon
2 peaches sliced
4 cups arugula packed
1 cup diced cucumber

Instructions

Place all ingredients for the vinaigrette in the blender and blend until smooth. Set aside.
Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add walnuts and heat until browned and fragrant, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the bacon and cook for 5 minutes until crispy.
Remove from heat and roughly chop into small pieces. Reserve the bacon fat.
Heat a grill or a grill pan over medium high heat.
Brush the peach slices with the bacon fat on both sides.
Grill the peach slices until grill marks appear, about 2 minutes on each side.
Assemble the salad: Place arugula, cucumber, and red onion in a large bowl. Top with toasted walnuts, bacon, and grilled peaches. Drizzle with the prepared vinaigrette.
Toss to coat before serving.
