# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The sweet and salty play between fruit and feta creates those addictive restaurant-quality flavors in minutes
  • No cooking required means you can assemble this even on the hottest days without heating up your kitchen
02 -
  • Add the dressing right before serving because the salt in the feta and dressing will make the greens wilt quickly once dressed
  • Gently pat the peach slices dry with paper towels if they are especially juicy so your salad does not become watery
03 -
  • Toasting your nuts in a dry pan for 3 to 4 minutes until fragrant makes a huge difference in flavor and texture
  • Make double the dressing and keep it in a jar in the refrigerator for quick salads throughout the week
