Delicious and refreshing! Used hard peaches but only a day or two from being ripe. So tasty I made it two days in a row!

simple, sweet, and herbaceous. the peaches soften a bit, but keep their bite.

I bought the peaches which were on there way to being ripe and by the time I made it they were ripe. The salad is delish. I made as written but will try Jalapeno and Cilantro next time.

I did make the peach salad, and it was a big hit. Had to prepare the peaches only an hour before, but they were sufficiently macerated. I did use some lemon juice after I had it all assembled, as it seemed to need something more. The friend who came with me said, "I'll definitely be making this a lot."

I'm going to make this for a potluck his evening, but I'm going to use firm, not green but not quite ripe, peaches. I will also sprinkle them with lemon juice to prevent turning dark before adding salt and sugar. Mint sounds great, and I have an abundant supply just outside my door. I think honey would substitute well for all or part of the sugar. Possibly another time I'll try some flavored oil.

Have been making this all summer. Most recently, the only hard peaches at the farmers market were white peaches, so I used those. Different -- more delicate in flavor and even green, a bit sweet -- but utterly delicious, and so very pretty! ;o)

What a nice surprise! Made the recipe mostly out of curiosity, and was really impressed with the results. Have made it twice in the last week. Love Food 52!

Yum. I have farm peaches in my fridge right now. Looks as though I will be running to store tomorrow to buy some fresh mint. Will let you know how I enjoy this dish.

I love cheese with fruit and with Greek or Lebanese olive in the recipe I wondered how a good salty feta would be with it.
Any thoughts?

What's a mint chiffonade? Sounds like some sort of dessert with Cool Whip or something!

Ha! It's just the leaves, stacked together, rolled together like a cigar, then sliced thinly crosswise (the technique helps you get a clean cut without bruising the leaves). In French it means something like "little rags".

Would any kind of fresh greens go with this?

I would let the peaches macerate first, then toss in some watercress or another flavorful, sturdy green.

I have a peach tree so am wondering how unripe they can be? Completely green or just on the firm side of ripe?

Sorry for missing this question, Suzanne. Very firm peaches work great, and I think at Crook's Corner they may actually source green ones. If you try it that way with green peaches from your tree, please let us know what you think!

Love this recipe so much! So simple yet so delicious. I just made it again for the first time since last summer. And even though I forgot to add the olive oil (LOL) everyone loved it.

Delicious! I enjoyed this at Crook's Corner's tonight. Perfect night to dine al fresco, and and Bill Smith even had his legendary honeysuckle sorbet on the menu.

I would make anything from Crook's Corner - the best shrimp & grits and Hoppin" John I ever had in my life!
And a mean, clean special cocktail menu as well!
