Instructions

Place the fresh salad greens into a large serving bowl or divide among individual plates.
Layer in chopped peaches, halved cherries, almonds, and goat cheese.
Scatter the remaining ingredients over the top to create a professional display.
Arrange optional additional peach slices in a sunburst pattern on top.

Notes

You can prepare the salad components ahead of time and store them separately to make assembly at mealtime a total breeze. If storing, keep the dressing in an airtight container and toss just before serving to keep greens crisp.
