Grilled Onion & Peach Salad

Grilled RealSweet® Vidalia® Onion and Peach Salad
Serves 1
You may have heard the phrase "if it grows together, it goes together". This means that foods that are grown in the same season and region often create a great flavor combination. This recipe applies that rule of thumb by incorporating peaches and Vidalia onions, two homegrown favorites that are both coming into their peak season, as well as spinach, which is still available at many area farmers markets. Who says "BBQ" has to include meat? Bring out the natural sweetness in these ingredients when you prepare them over an open flame!
