For this salad use whatever fruit is fresh and ripe. If peaches are not in season, try using melons or oranges. Nectarines are also delicious in this recipe.

We just bought a half bushel of fresh peaches and scanned the recipe index for ideas. The weather here is very warm and this recipe really hit the spot. For convenence I used packaged pre-cooked chicken from the deli case. A great summer picnic or potluck dish. Read More

This is very good! I didn't have poppyseed dressing though so I used Raspberry Walnut from Paul Newman. My husband missed out because he really likes the combination of meat and fruit. Read More

Really liked the flavor and simplicity of this dish. Came together very quickly using packaged chicken and greens. Great light summer lunch. Plan to serve this at a teacher's luncheon. Read More

I've tried this recipe before and it's a good one. However it's from the Epicurious.com website and was published in Bon Appetit in 1994. Boo on the poster who didn't give credit where credit is due! Read More

Very tasty salad. I used a rotisserie chicken and it ended up being too overpowering so stick with regular cooked chicken. The poppy seed dressing with the peaches tasted great. Read More

Excellent salad. My husband and I both thoroughly enjoyed it. The lemon poppyseed dressing tasted wonderful with the tangy taste of peaches. Peaches can also be replaced with nectarines. Read More
