Blueberry Peach Feta Salad: A Burst of Fresh Flavors


  • Author: james
  • Total Time: 10 minutes

Description

Blueberry peach feta salad offers a perfect blend of sweet, tangy, making it a refreshing and healthy dish for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale

Here’s everything you’ll need to prepare the salad:

For the Salad

  • 2 cups baby spinach or mixed greens
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 large ripe peach, sliced
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ¼ cup sliced almonds (toasted) or candied pecans
  • 2 tbsp fresh mint leaves, torn

For the Dressing

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1: Prepare the Ingredients

  1. Wash and Dry the Produce: Rinse the blueberries, peach, and greens under cool water. After that, pat them dry with a paper towel or use a salad spinner for the greens.
  2. Slice the Peach: Cut the peach into thin, even slices. For a rustic touch, you can leave the skin on.
  3. Toast the Nuts: If using almonds, place them in a dry skillet over medium heat. Stir frequently for about 2-3 minutes until they turn golden and aromatic. This step ensures a nutty depth of flavor.

2: Make the Dressing

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard. Then, season the mixture with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  2. Taste the dressing and adjust the sweetness or tanginess as desired. This step is important to ensure the flavors are balanced.

3: Assemble the Salad

  1. Layer the Greens: Start by spreading the baby spinach or mixed greens on a large serving plate or salad bowl.
  2. Add the Fruits: Scatter the blueberries and peach slices evenly over the greens. At this stage, your salad will already look vibrant and appetizing.
  3. Sprinkle the Feta: Crumble the feta cheese on top of the salad.
  4. Add the Crunch: Sprinkle the toasted almonds or candied pecans for texture.
  5. Finish with Herbs: Tear fresh mint leaves and distribute them across the salad.

4: Dress and Serve

  1. Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad just before serving. For best results, toss gently to combine or serve as is for a visually stunning presentation.

Notes

  1. Choose ripe peaches: For the best flavor, use peaches that are ripe but still firm. Overripe peaches can become mushy in the salad, while underripe ones may lack sweetness.

  2. Toast the nuts: Toasting the pecans or walnuts enhances their flavor and adds a delightful crunch. You can do this by placing them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.

  3. Customize the greens: While spinach, arugula, or spring mix work wonderfully, you can substitute with your favorite greens like kale or romaine for added variety and texture.
