One reason I look forward to peach season is being able to make this recipe. This year, the peaches are abundant, sweet, juicy, and dense. Take advantage and find ways to include them in your recipes and meals, even if it's just biting into a whole one and letting the juice roll down your arms. This salad is always a hit, perhaps because we're naturally drawn to its variety of flavors, textures, colors, and shapes. Variety is the most significant reason we choose something to eat!
