Use a variety of greens. Arugula, spinach, and romaine lettuce are all good choices for this salad. You can also use a mix of greens.
Don't skimp on the blue cheese. Blue cheese is a key ingredient in this salad, so use a good quality cheese that you enjoy. Crumbled or shaved blue cheese works best.
Add some nuts or seeds for crunch. Walnuts, pecans, and almonds are all good choices. You can also use a mix of nuts and seeds.
Drizzle the salad with a light vinaigrette. A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, and honey is a good choice. You can also use a store-bought vinaigrette.
Serve the salad immediately. This salad is best served fresh. The peaches will start to brown if you let the salad sit for too long.
