internetnut's Note:

This salad is easy to prepare and is a pretty accompaniment to any meal, especially on a hot summer day or evening. This delicacy is a perfect part of a menu for a bridal luncheon as it is both popular and pretty. This recipe originally came from a wife of a peach farmer. this recipe was submitted by Clara Eschmann. I found this recipe in Salads Food Writers' Favorites. I have not tried this recipe, but I'm posting it for safe keeping. I plan to use no sugar added peaches.
