Notes

Choose ripe, juicy peaches and tomatoes for the best flavor. Heirloom tomatoes add a beautiful color and rich taste. For extra texture, consider adding toasted nuts like almonds or walnuts. This salad is best served fresh, but you can prepare the dressing ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator.
