Spinach and Bacon Salad with Nectarines

Spinach and Bacon Salad with Nectarines 
Cook's Notes: Sometimes the best laid plans go awry through no fault of your own. The recipe called for peaches, this is not the peach season but I found nectarines were even a better choice as they hold their shape better. I had a bag of spinach but our refrigerator stopped working overnight and we had to throw out several items one being the bag. Lucky I had romaine as a backup. For this recipe I used a product that was new for me.

It's not fresh but smoked and comes in a box.  Worked great for the salad. 
The salad was the perfect side for grilled hamburgers. 
The ingredients can be increased for more servings. This salad serves 4.
