# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The sweet and salty balance hits that perfect spot where you keep going back for just one more bite
  • It comes together in literally fifteen minutes but looks like something from a restaurant patio
  • The dressing hugs everything just right without weighing down the delicate greens
02 -
  • Add the dressing right before serving or the greens will start to wilt and lose that satisfying crunch
  • Slice the peaches just before assembling because they oxidize and start looking sad pretty quickly
  • The salad needs to be tossed immediately after dressing or the settling liquid pools at the bottom
03 -
  • Toast the nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes shaking frequently until they smell fragrant
  • Let the peaches come to room temperature before slicing if they have been refrigerated
