Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful peaches: The quality of your peaches will make a big difference in the flavor of the salad. Look for peaches that are fragrant, with no bruises or blemishes.
- Use a variety of colors: For a visually appealing salad, use a mix of different colored peaches. You could use yellow, white, and red peaches, or even add a few slices of donut peaches for a pop of color.
- Don't overripe the peaches: Peaches that are too ripe will be mushy and won't hold their shape in the salad. If you're using ripe peaches, be sure to slice them thinly so they don't break down.
- Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you get clean, even slices of peaches. This will make the salad look more professional and help prevent the peaches from browning.
- Marinate the peaches: Marinating the peaches in a mixture of honey, lime juice, and zest will help to enhance their flavor and prevent them from browning.
- Add some heat: If you like a little bit of heat in your salad, add some chopped jalapeños or serrano peppers. You can also use a spicy dressing, such as a chili-lime vinaigrette.
- Serve the salad chilled: This salad is best served chilled. You can either refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before serving, or you can serve it immediately over a bed of ice.
