What a lovely recipe. I'm happy there is no bacon in it since I don't eat meat. I know people say just leave it out, but I like to see these without it in the first place. Thanks!

Thanks. This sounds very good. But to clarify, I think there may have been an auto correct: "Slice 4 peaches, with skiing and toss together with cabbage....", should skiing be skins? in other words, the peaches are not peeled in this recipe?

Not to mention 14 cup of mint.

Skins on the first 4 peaches and 1/4 cup of mint.

Funny.....my mind read 1/4 cup mint and skins.......weird how the brain can work. Sounds delicious!

I'm sorry, darn auto correct and I forgot to proof read before I hit send.

You do not peel the 4 peaches and its 1/4 cup of mint.

[Murphy224]

thanks for the clarification......at least we all know about that darn auto-correct. I wish I could turn it off on my phone so my mistakes would be MINE. Not to mention that sometimes it just doesn't believe what you re-type and insists you are wrong.....arrrggg!!!
Peaches are just coming in here and I have a huge bed of mint growing like crazy. This will be on my menu this week.
Thanks again

Mine also noticed that you mentioned 1/4 cup chopped mint leaves here.. My suggestion for you next time you should try use ghee instead of veg oil.. It's turned out the recipe too delicious with yummy taste.

So you slice the first 4 peaches with their skins on? How are you slicing them? In thin wedges?

Yes Carlie, that is what I did. So they are "bite size" . If your peaches are bigger, you may want to cut the wedges in half. I also use 2 peaches in the dressing. Makes it a bit more "peachier".
This is a very good recipe and I am making again for next weekend, although I am currently without fresh mint but don't think it will alter taste too much.
