How can you tell if a peach is ripe?
There are three main signs you can look for to tell you if the peach is ripe and juicy:
1. You should be looking for the peach to have a nice deep golden look to it its yellows. The more golden look to the peach the better.
2. Grab the peach and give it a very gentle squeeze. If there is a little give to it but not much you the peach is not quite ready to eat. You want your peaches to be very soft when you squeeze them.
3. Sounds weird, but you want to look for wrinkles by the steam of the peach. Wrinkles mean that water has evaporated out of the peach leaving it with a greater peach flavor. -
Can I leave The Skin On For This Recipe?
Yes, but don’t. The texture and the taste of the skin, in my opinion, does not match well with the salad. Do yourself a favor and take a couple of minutes it takes to peel the peaches as it will make the best salad possible. -
Can I add a protein to this salad?
Yes, if desired, you can add a protein to this salad. I recommend using a simple chicken recipe like my Simple Grilled Chicken or my Quick Grilled Lemon Chicken Tenders. Both can be made on an outdoor grill, or indoors on the stovetop.

This salad is my new Favourite salad made it last weekend. Even with not good peach it was a crowd pleases, just a bit to early for stone fruits here another 6 to 8 weeks. Add 5yrs for my tree to produce. Nectarines would work well in this salad I thankyou.
I made this delicious summer salad of yours. My entire family loved it. I will sure make this again and again.
This was outstanding. Followed the recipe completely completely other than adding some fresh chopped basil to the dressing. Topped the salad with shrimp dusted with Old Bay and sauteed in butter until pink. This was a complete dinner and it was terrific.
Cannot wait to make this peach salad ! I know it will be one of my favorites. 🙂
