Scale

Salad Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 2 ripe peaches, thinly sliced
  • 4 cups mixed greens (such as arugula or baby spinach)
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint or basil, chopped

Dressing Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit and Greens: Wash the blueberries thoroughly and gently slice the peaches into thin wedges. Rinse and dry the mixed greens like baby spinach or arugula to ensure a fresh and crisp base for the salad.
  2. Assemble the Salad Base: In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, sliced peaches, and blueberries. Toss gently to mix without bruising the fruit or wilting the greens.
  3. Add Cheese and Nuts: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the salad, followed by the chopped walnuts or pecans to add texture and flavor contrast.
  4. Mix the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey or maple syrup, and salt and pepper until well combined.
  5. Dress and Toss: Pour the dressing over the salad mixture. Gently toss everything together to coat evenly without damaging the fruit. Finally, add the fresh chopped mint or basil and toss lightly to combine.

Notes

  • Choose firm but ripe peaches to prevent them from becoming mushy when mixed.
  • Toss ingredients gently to avoid breaking delicate blueberries and keep peaches looking fresh.
  • Make the dressing fresh just before serving to keep the salad vibrant.
  • Use crumbled feta for even distribution and balanced flavor in every bite.
  • Add nuts just before serving to maintain their crunch.
