Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe peaches, sliced
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, torn
- 1/4 cup toasted pecans, roughly chopped
- 3 cups mixed greens (like arugula or spinach)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Slice the peaches into thin wedges and place them in a large salad bowl.
- Add the fresh blueberries, ensuring they’re evenly distributed among the peaches.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the fruit. I love how the feta’s saltiness contrasts with the sweetness of the peaches and blueberries.
- Next, add the torn mint leaves and the toasted pecans for an extra layer of flavor and crunch.
- Gently toss the mixed greens into the bowl, making sure everything is well combined but not crushed. I’ve found that using my hands for this step keeps the greens intact.
- In a small jar, combine the olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Seal the jar and shake vigorously until the dressing emulsifies.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss everything gently once more to ensure the dressing coats all the ingredients.
- Serve immediately, and enjoy the vibrant flavors of summer any time of year.
