Here's a colorful salad with a wide range of tastes and textures that go together so well. There are sweet peaches, tart lemon, tangy vinegars and all kinds of crunch from greens, bacon and nuts. âDenise Elder, Hanover, Ontario Ingredients:
4 medium ripe peaches, peeled |
2 tablespoons sugar |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
2 tablespoons cider vinegar |
1 tablespoon rice vinegar |
1/4 teaspoon salt |

4 cups torn romaine |
1 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced |
1/2 cup thinly sliced cucumber |
6 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled |
1/3 cup chopped pecans, toasted |
Directions:
