Notes
Chef's Tips: Use a variety of greens for the base depending on what is in season near you. If you are making this ahead of time prepare the ingredients and keep separate (and chilled) until ready to assemble and serve.
If you prefer, grill the peaches after slicing and before assembling the salad, as shown in the photo.
