Salad Ingredients
- 2 ripe peaches, sliced
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 4 cups mixed greens (such as arugula, spinach, or spring mix)
- 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (toasted if desired)
Dressing Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Combine salad ingredients: In a large bowl, add the sliced peaches, fresh blueberries, mixed greens, thinly sliced red onion, and crumbled feta cheese. Gently toss them together to mix evenly.
- Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, and season with salt and black pepper. Whisk or shake until the dressing is well emulsified and smooth.
- Dress the salad: Just before serving, drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad. Toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly without bruising the fruit or greens.
- Add the crunchy nuts: Sprinkle the chopped and toasted pecans or walnuts on top for a delightful crunch and nutty flavor.
- Serve immediately: Enjoy the salad fresh to appreciate the crisp textures and bright flavors.
Notes
- For enhanced sweetness and smoky flavor, grill peach slices for a few minutes before adding them to the salad.
- Goat cheese can be substituted for feta cheese if a creamier texture is preferred.
- To make the salad a heartier meal, add grilled chicken or cooked quinoa.
