2. In a bowl, mix the crumbled feta, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, half of the chives, half of the mint, 2 teaspoons of the olive oil, and the black pepper. Mash or blend with a fork until you get a spreadable cream with a little texture.

3. In another bowl, combine the sliced peach and cucumber with the remaining teaspoon of olive oil, the honey, the rest of the chives, the rest of the mint, and a pinch of salt if needed. Toss gently so the peach keeps its shape.

Chef tips
For a deeper finish, toast the sesame in a dry skillet for 30 to 60 seconds before using. Choose a firm peach so it holds its shape on the toast.
Substitutions
You can swap the peach for firm nectarine or thinly sliced pear. Greek yogurt can be replaced with cream cheese for a denser texture. Mint can be swapped for basil.
