Why You’ll Love This Fruity Summer Salad
You all know I love my salads, especially during the summer. With so much fresh produce to choose (especially of the local variety), from it keeps my salads ever-changing. I took advantage of fresh peaches while they are still in season. The ripe peaches absolutely make this salad. They are juicy, sweet; and tender — and the perfect addition to this summer salad.
This salad starts with a bed of fresh mixed greens, juicy peaches, blackberries and feta cheese. I added chopped walnuts for some crunch. The tangy, salty feta cheese and the sweet peaches go perfectly together.
This peach, feta, and blackberry Salad makes the perfect lunch or light dinner. It’s super easy to toss together or make ahead for a quick work lunch. And the best part of this salad is that it is totally customizable. Use any fresh fruit or nuts you have on hand. Pine nuts or pecans would go great in this salad. And you can substitute arugula or kale for the mixed greens.
Make this salad and savor some peaches before they are gone!
Key Ingredients
- Mixed greens (Or your preferred assortment of greens; arugula, baby kale, baby spinach, and leafy green lettuce are some of my favorites.)
- A peach (rinsed and sliced)
- Blackberries
- Feta cheese (crumbled)
- Walnuts (chopped)
Which Dressing To Serve with This Salad
I serve this salad with a simple balsamic vinaigrette. Super easy to whip up with a hint of tang and sweetness. Made with balsamic vinegar, oil and brown sugar. I like to store the extra in the fridge to use throughout the week. Just give it a good mix before serving. Best of all, you can store leftover dressing in an airtight container for up to a week.
To make it, all you’ll need is balsamic vinegar, brown sugar (light or dark), and canola oil. That’s it!
How To Make This Summer Salad
Simply fill two bowls with the mixed greens. Then, top with peaches, blackberries, feta cheese, and walnuts. Drizzle with the balsamic vinaigrette, and serve immediately.
Tips and Variations
- Add some protein to make this summer salad a meal by adding some grilled chicken, steak, bacon, or mushrooms.
- Add more veggies to make it more filling while keeping this salad vegan- and vegetarian-friendly! Thinly sliced cucumber, bell peppers, jalapeños, or squash would be delicious additions.
- Change up the cheese! Feta works beautifully in this peach and blackberry salad, but so would goat cheese, burrata, and blue cheese.
