Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large bowl, gently combine the cubed peaches, cooked chicken, and chopped cucumber. (Prep time: 15 minutes)

02

Step

Prepare the dressing: In a blender, combine the sugar, white wine vinegar, minced mint, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Blend until smooth and emulsified. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

03

Step

Drizzle the dressing over the peach and chicken mixture, tossing gently to ensure even coating. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

04

Step

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill thoroughly. (Chill time: 30 minutes)

05

Step

Just before serving, gently fold in the cubed avocado to maintain its creamy texture and vibrant green color. (Prep time: 3 minutes)

For an enhanced presentation, serve the salad on a bed of crisp lettuce leaves using a slotted spoon to avoid excess dressing. This dish pairs beautifully with a light, dry rosé or a crisp Sauvignon Blanc.
Feel free to adjust the amount of hot sauce to your preference. For a milder flavor, use a sweet chili sauce instead.
If you're making this salad ahead of time, consider adding the avocado just before serving to prevent browning.
The best peaches to use for this recipe are those that are slightly firm but still ripe and juicy.
For a vegetarian option, omit the chicken and add grilled halloumi cheese.
