Roast chicken and peach salad with feta

This is the ideal sort of salad to make when you want something that feels both comforting and fresh. Sweet roasted peaches, salty feta, leafy greens and warmly spiced chicken come together in one generous dish that's just as good for a relaxed dinner as it is for sharing with guests. As the peaches and chicken roast, they release sweet, savory juices that mingle with the spices, creating a dressing with a fruity depth and richness.

Ras el hanout lends the chicken fragrant Moroccan warmth, but if you don't have any on hand, a simple combination of sweet paprika and ground cumin will deliver the classic flavor just as beautifully. The salad is wonderfully adaptable too: Swap the peaches for nectarines or sliced apples, or use another grain, such as farro, freekeh or quinoa. The result is a salad that's delicious served warm, at room temperature or even straight from the fridge the next day.
