Notes
For the best flavor, use ripe but firm peaches so they hold their shape in the salad.
Lightly toast the walnuts in a dry pan for a few minutes to enhance their flavor.
You can substitute goat cheese for feta if desired.
This salad pairs well with grilled chicken or seafood for a light summer meal.
