# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Its summer on a plate, requiring zero heat and delivering maximum flavor
  • The sweet salty creamy crisp combo never gets old, even after making it weekly all season
02 -
  • Dress this salad right before serving or the greens will collapse under the weight of the vinaigrette
  • The peaches will oxidize slightly if cut too far in advance, but honestly it just looks like a rustic garden salad
03 -
  • Toasting the nuts transforms them from optional to essential, just five minutes in a dry pan over medium heat
  • Let the dressing come to room temperature if it's been in the fridge, it emulsifies better that way
