Fruits and vegetables are good for you and they are even better married in a salad. The combination of sweet, savory and crunchy makes this peach chicken salad perfection. This is easy to prepare and perfect for those warm spring and summer days when you want something satisfying and refreshing.
Peaches are the star in this recipe, so only use the freshest, ripest, juiciest ones you can find
Use a mix of fresh salad greens.
Red onion adds a nice pungent dimension to the salad
Walnuts or pecans add a nice crunch. I love to use glazed walnuts because it adds something special
The flavors in this salad are bright and refreshing and perfect for spring and summer when its warm and you don't feel like cooking
