Fresh Peach and Avocado Salad
This bright and refreshing summer salad combines juicy peaches with creamy avocado for the perfect seasonal bite.
dailyrecipesbook.comThere is nothing better than enjoying sweet peaches when they are at their peak. This salad is one of my favorite ways to use them because it balances that natural sweetness with the richness of avocado and a tangy citrus dressing.
It makes a lovely side dish for a backyard barbecue or a light lunch on a warm day. If you want to make it feel extra special, lightly toast the almonds in a pan for a minute until they smell fragrant and nutty.

Store any leftover dressing in the fridge for up to a week. If you are preparing this ahead of time, wait to add the avocado and dressing until right before you serve so everything stays fresh and crisp.
