Summer Peach & Blueberry Kale Salad: A Refreshing and Nutritious Delight

Summer Peach & Blueberry Kale Salad

This Summer Peach & Blueberry Kale Salad reminds me of Sunday afternoons at Grandma’s, where sweet peaches were always the star of the table. The mix of juicy fruits with tender kale and a honey-lemon dressing is sunshine in a bowl. It’s easy, healthy, and tastes like summer should. Try it for your next lunch or light dinner—you’ll feel refreshed and satisfied.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups chopped kale (stems removed)

  • 2 ripe peaches, sliced

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds (toasted)

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

  • 1 tsp honey

  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, drizzle chopped kale with olive oil and a pinch of salt.

  2. Massage the kale with your hands for about 2 minutes until soft and bright green.

  3. Add sliced peaches, blueberries, feta cheese, and almonds.

  4. In a small bowl, whisk lemon juice, honey, and a little pepper.

  5. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently.

  6. Serve immediately or chill for 10–15 minutes to enhance the flavors.

Notes

  • Massage the Kale: This softens the leaves and takes away the bitterness. Just rub it with olive oil for a minute or two—it makes a big difference!

  • Chill Before Serving: Letting the salad rest in the fridge for 10–15 minutes helps the flavors blend beautifully.

  • Use Seasonal Fruit: Ripe, fresh peaches and blueberries give the best taste. You can even swap in strawberries or nectarines if you prefer.

  • Add Protein: Turn it into a full meal by adding grilled chicken, shrimp, or even chickpeas.

  • Nut-Free Option: Swap almonds with pumpkin seeds for a crunch that’s allergy-friendly.
