Simple Peach Kale Summer Salad

It's officially too hot in NYC to cook anything that requires extended time standing over the stove. One of my favorite meals to make for us when its just too hot in the kitchen (or I'm feeling a bit lazy) is a nice filling salad. I can pull this together in about 15-20 minutes and its fresh, healthy and delicious.
