Slice the peaches into medium - thin size wedges then add them to a medium sized mixing bowl. Cut the tops off the strawberries, slice the strawberries into halves or quarters then add them to the mixing bowl. Add the blueberries and blackberries to the mixing bowl then add in the dressing.
Toss the fruit salad gently until it is thoroughly mixed then transfer it to a serving dish. Serve immediately or cover and keep in the fridge until it's ready to be served. Store up to 1-2 days after dressing.
