Notes
Peaches
Use firm or semi-firm peaches or nectarines for the best texture; softer ones may break down in the salad.
Feel free to mix and match types, such as white and yellow peaches or nectarines.
Storage
Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The lemon juice and honey will cause the peaches or nectarines to soften over time.
