For an enhanced presentation, serve the salad on a bed of crisp lettuce leaves using a slotted spoon to avoid excess dressing. This dish pairs beautifully with a light, dry rosé or a crisp Sauvignon Blanc. Feel free to adjust the amount of hot sauce to your preference. For a milder flavor, use a sweet chili sauce instead. If you're making this salad ahead of time, consider adding the avocado just before serving to prevent browning. The best peaches to use for this recipe are those that are slightly firm but still ripe and juicy. For a vegetarian option, omit the chicken and add grilled halloumi cheese.
