Notes
This salad is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for a few hours before serving.
Use ripe but firm peaches so they hold their shape in the salad.
If Persian cucumbers are unavailable, substitute with English cucumber.
Add toasted nuts such as almonds or pecans for extra crunch.
Fresh basil adds brightness, but mint can also be used for a slightly different flavor.
