๐ŸŽ‰ Introduction

This Blueberry Peach Feta Salad is the essence of summer in a bowl โ€” sweet ripe peaches, plump blueberries, creamy feta, and crisp greens tossed in a bright honey-lime vinaigrette. Every bite is a perfect harmony of juicy fruit, tangy cheese, and refreshing herbs.

Itโ€™s vibrant, elegant, and incredibly easy to make โ€” the kind of salad thatโ€™s beautiful enough for entertaining but simple enough for weekday lunches. Whether you serve it as a side at a BBQ or pair it with grilled chicken for a light meal, this dish delivers freshness and flavor in every forkful.


๐Ÿงฐ Equipment Needed

  • Cutting board and knife
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk or jar with lid (for dressing)
  • Salad tongs or large spoon

๐Ÿ›’ Ingredients

For the Salad

  • ยฝ cup crumbled feta cheese

For the Honey-Lime Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿณ Directions

Step 1: Make the Dressing

Just before serving, drizzle the honey-lime dressing over the salad.
Toss gently to combine so the fruit and cheese remain intact.

Garnish with fresh mint or basil leaves for a refreshing finish.
