Toss arugula with grilled peaches, Canadian bacon, red onions, and drizzle with a tasty balsamic vinaigrette dressing for a fresh and delicious salad that can be prepared in less than 15 minutes. Serve either as a main dish or side salad. Prepare the vinaigrette dressing in a mason jar and shake it to combine. You can double the recipe and save the remaining dressing to use on another night. If you prefer crispy bacon, you can sauté the Canadian bacon for a few minutes before serving. To prevent the onions from falling through the grill rack, insert a toothpick into the side of each onion slice.
