Description
Bursting with juicy blueberries and sun-ripened peaches, this salad marries creamy feta, crisp almonds, and fresh mint under a bright honey-lemon vinaigrette. Each forkful feels like a summer breeze.
Ingredients
- 2 cups mixed salad greens
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 medium peaches sliced
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a small bowl whisk together olive oil, honey, lemon juice, salt and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and emulsified.
- In a large bowl combine mixed salad greens, blueberries, sliced peaches, red onion and chopped mint.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss to coat everything evenly.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and sliced almonds over the top of the salad.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors.
Notes
- For extra crunch toast the almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat until lightly golden.
- Swap honey for agave nectar to make the dressing vegan-friendly.
- Try baby spinach or peppery arugula instead of mixed greens for a different flavor profile.
- Prepare just before serving to prevent the greens from wilting.
