  6. Finely chop fresh basil and mint leaves, then sprinkle them in. Toss the salad gently to combine all the vibrant ingredients.
  7. Drizzle the creamy dressing over the Peach and Goat Cheese Salad, ensuring everything is coated evenly.
  8. Using tongs or two large spoons, toss the salad gently, being cautious not to crush the delicate ingredients.
