Scale
Salad Ingredients
- 2 ripe peaches, sliced thin
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 4 cups mixed greens (such as arugula, spinach, or spring mix)
- 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup sliced red onion
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Dressing
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze or dressing
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine the ingredients: In a large salad bowl, add the mixed greens, sliced peaches, fresh blueberries, sliced red onion, and crumbled feta cheese. Include the chopped nuts if you are using them to add extra texture and flavor.
- Add the dressing: Drizzle the olive oil and balsamic glaze or dressing over the salad ingredients. Be sure to distribute the dressing evenly for balanced flavor.
- Toss gently: Using salad tongs or clean hands, gently toss the salad to coat all the ingredients with the dressing without bruising the fruit or greens.
- Season: Add salt and pepper to taste, adjusting as needed according to your preference.
- Serve immediately: This salad is best enjoyed fresh, so serve it right after tossing to retain the crispness of the greens and freshness of the fruit.
Notes
- For extra flavor, briefly grill the peach slices before adding them to the salad to bring out their natural sweetness and add a smoky note.
- You can substitute goat cheese for feta cheese if preferred for a creamier texture and milder tang.
- Adding grilled chicken makes this salad a more substantial meal with extra protein.
