Instructions
  1. Prepare the Fruit and Vegetables: Wash and slice the peaches and tomatoes. Arrange them on a large serving platter or in a bowl.

Notes

Choose ripe but firm peaches and tomatoes for the best flavor. Adjust the sweetness or acidity of the dressing to suit your taste. For a heartier salad, consider adding grilled chicken or chickpeas. Best served fresh, but you can prepare the dressing and slice the fruit ahead of time. Store them separately and combine just before serving.
