I’m excited to share with you one of our favorite salads we’ve been enjoying this month. It’s been peach season here and we’ve incorporated the sweet, juicy flavor of peaches into our salads. Peaches aren’t just for cobblers and icecream anymore! May I present the Summer Peach Salad?

First, I’ve got to say I’m certainly not a food blogger or photographer, but I do want to share recipes my family have been loving so that you can enjoy them too! I could eat this summer peach salad over and over again!

Make it Your Own!

My first suggestion with salads is to always make them your own! If chicken isn’t your favorite, try shrimp! We actually forgot to marinate the chicken on this one so we sprinkled some salt, pepper, and garlic powder and cooked it in a grill pan on the stove. I threw some blue cheese in mine, the kids used ranch dressing (of course), and Margaret had a deconstructed salad! Make this summer peach salad to fit your taste!
