# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The salty feta against sweet peaches creates that perfect sweet and salty dance everyone craves but cannot quite describe
  • You can assemble everything in under fifteen minutes while the dressing comes together in literally seconds
02 -
  • The peaches will release some juice once dressed, which creates a lovely light sauce at the bottom of the bowl but also means leftovers will not keep well
  • Room temperature peaches have much more flavor than cold ones from the refrigerator, so let them sit out for thirty minutes before slicing
03 -
  • Use a vegetable peeler to shave thin ribbons of extra feta over the top for an elegant finish that makes the salad look like it came from a restaurant kitchen
  • The dressing keeps well in the refrigerator for up to a week, so make double and you will be halfway to tomorrow lunch
