Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 ripe peaches, sliced thin

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

  • 4 cups mixed greens (like spinach, arugula, or romaine)

  • 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese

  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced (optional)

  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh mint or basil

  • 1/4 cup pecans or walnuts, lightly toasted

For the dressing:

  • 3 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar or lemon juice

  • 1 tsp honey

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, gently combine the greens, sliced peaches, blueberries, feta, and red onions.

  • Sprinkle in the chopped herbs and nuts.

  • In a small jar or bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar or lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper.

  • Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.

  • Serve immediately and enjoy the burst of summer flavors!

Notes

  • Use Ripe But Firm Peaches:
    Choose peaches that are fragrant and slightly firm so they hold their shape and don’t get mushy in the salad.

  • Chill Your Ingredients:
    For the most refreshing bite, keep your fruit and greens in the fridge before assembling the salad.

  • Go Light on the Dressing:
    This salad shines with simple flavors, so drizzle the dressing lightly and taste as you go.

  • Add a Crunch:
    Toasting the nuts enhances their flavor—just a few minutes in a dry pan will do the trick!

  • Make It a Meal:
    Add grilled chicken, shrimp, or even quinoa to turn this light salad into a filling dish.

  • Play with Herbs:
    Fresh basil gives a sweet twist, while mint offers a cooling kick. Use what’s in your garden!

  • Use Goat Cheese for a Twist:
    If you’re not a fan of feta, crumbled goat cheese is a lovely creamy substitute.
