Tips and Tricks
- Choose ripe but firm peaches that give slightly to pressure for the best flavor and texture in your salad. Overripe peaches will be mushy once mixed into the salad.
- For an easy meal prep, you can combine the peaches, cucumbers, and blueberries a day ahead.
- If you’re not a fan of any component or have dietary restrictions, consider the suggested substitutions like nectarines for peaches, goat cheese for feta, and maple syrup for honey.
