Notes

  • For best texture and flavor, serve the salad fresh.
  • Ripe but firm peaches work best and hold their shape well.
  • Fresh basil can be used instead of mint for a different flavor profile.
  • Add blueberries, strawberries, or cucumber for variation.
  • Toasted almonds, pecans, or pistachios add extra crunch.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Freezing is not recommended as the fruit texture will change after thawing.
