2 medium peaches, peeled and sliced ( I used frozen)
2 cups sliced fresh strawberries

* We all loved this fruit salad the dressing made all the flavor of the fruit really come out. It was light and refreshing and I will totally make this again many times I am sure.Make sure that you wait to put on the dressing until right before you are going to serve it. It went kinda mushy with the little leftover that we had. I give it a 4 1/2 on the scale.
