Ingredients
Scale
Salad
- 4 cups mixed greens (such as arugula, spinach, or spring mix)
- 2 ripe peaches, thinly sliced
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped toasted pecans or walnuts
Dressing
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the salad base: In a large salad bowl, layer the mixed greens, thinly sliced peaches, fresh blueberries, sliced red onion, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped toasted nuts to create a colorful and textured mix.
- Make the dressing: In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until the ingredients are well emulsified and smooth.
- Toss and serve: Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad just before serving and gently toss to coat all the ingredients. Serve immediately to enjoy the freshest flavors and best texture.
Notes
- You can substitute goat cheese for feta if desired for a creamier texture.
- For a heartier meal, add grilled chicken or salmon to the salad.
- This salad is best served fresh and is not ideal for advance assembly due to the delicate nature of the fruits.
