1. Wash and pat dry the peaches and kiwis. Set aside two peaches for the salad, and peel and pit the other two for the dressing.
2. Slice the two peaches reserved for the salad into thin wedges, and set aside.
3. Peel the kiwis and slice them into rounds, then cut the rounds in half to create half-moon shapes. Set aside.
4. In a blender or food processor, combine the peeled and pitted peaches, honey, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth to create the peach dressing. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
5. In a large salad bowl, arrange the mixed greens as the base.
6. Evenly distribute the sliced peaches and kiwis over the greens.
7. If desired, sprinkle slivered almonds on top for crunch and garnish.
8. Drizzle the peach dressing over the salad just before serving or serve the dressing on the side.
9. Toss gently to combine and serve immediately. Enjoy!
