Ingredients
Scale
Salad
- 4 cups mixed greens (such as arugula, spinach, and romaine)
- 2 ripe peaches, sliced
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Dressing
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Greens: Place the mixed greens in a large serving bowl to create a fresh, crisp base for your salad.
- Add Fruits and Cheese: Top the greens with the sliced peaches, fresh blueberries, crumbled feta cheese, and thinly sliced red onion for a burst of flavor and color.
- Add Nuts (Optional): Sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts over the salad if desired to add a crunchy texture and nutty taste.
- Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together extra-virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is well emulsified.
- Toss and Serve: Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving. Gently toss to evenly coat the ingredients with the dressing, then serve immediately to enjoy fresh flavors and textures.
Notes
- For added protein, top the salad with grilled chicken or chickpeas.
- You can substitute goat cheese for feta for a different flavor profile.
- Using a raspberry vinaigrette instead of balsamic dressing adds extra fruitiness.
- Toast the nuts beforehand to enhance their flavor and crunch.
