Note

For best results, serve the salad chilled to enhance the refreshing quality of the ingredients.

You can substitute fresh peaches with canned peaches in juice (drained) if fresh ones are out of season.

If you prefer a sweeter salad, consider adding a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of cinnamon over the cottage cheese and fruit.

This salad is best enjoyed fresh. If preparing ahead, keep the components separate and assemble just before serving to prevent the lettuce from wilting.
