The way sweet peaches and salty feta play off each other will make you wonder why you ever settled for ordinary salads
It comes together in literally fifteen minutes but looks like something from a restaurant menu

02 -

I learned the hard way that peaches release a lot of liquid once dressed, so this salad really does need to be served immediately
Room temperature peaches have so much more flavor than cold ones from the fridge, let them sit out for an hour before slicing

Use the lightest touch when tossing everything together, aggressive mixing will bruise the blueberries and turn your salad purple
Toast your nuts in a dry pan for just a couple of minutes until fragrant, it deepens their flavor dramatically
