Chicken Salad With Peaches and Hazelnuts
- 3 peaches
- 3 tablespoons hazelnut oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 lb cooked chicken
- 23 cup hazelnuts
- 12 cup cilantro
- salt
- pepper
- 8 cups spinach leaves
- Peel the peaches: this is easier if you blanch them first by putting them in a pan of simmering water for a minute.
- (If you use nectarines, it is unnecessary to peel them).
- In a medium salad bowl, whisk together the oil and vinegar.
- Add the chicken, peaches, hazelnuts and cilantro.
- Season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.
- Add the spinach leaves and toss again.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning.
- Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to a day; it gets better as it sits.
- Remove from the fridge half an hour before eating.
