For a recent picnic we hosted, my friend Howard prepared this dish. It's one of my favorite summertime salads and I never posted it here before because it was just so easy and effortless. It's true - the simplest of recipes usually are the best and this one is no exception. If you wanted to kick it up a notch, add some fresh strawberries - it's equally delicious too! Another suggestion is to toss in chopped prosciutto for a little more savory notes. And if you don't have any peaches, nectarines work just as well.
