Tips for Success

• Fresh Ingredients: Use the freshest peaches and blueberries for the best flavor.
• Cheese Options: Try goat cheese instead of feta for a creamier texture.
• Nut-Free Option: Skip the nuts or replace them with sunflower seeds for crunch.
• Make Ahead: Prep the ingredients and dressing separately, then toss together just before serving to keep the greens fresh.
