Notes

Choose ripe but firm peaches for the best flavor. If you don't have balsamic glaze, you can make your own by simmering balsamic vinegar until it thickens. For extra texture, sprinkle some toasted pine nuts or almonds over the salad. While this salad is best served fresh, you can prepare the ingredients ahead of time and assemble them just before serving.
