Try these ides for a different twist on this salad.

• Use a different fruit – try plums, nectarines, strawberries, or blueberries in place of the peaches.
• Swap in a different cheese – try subbing goat cheese, fresh mozzarella, or burrata in place of the feta.

Make Ahead Instructions

Follow these instructions for time-saving make ahead tips.
