πŸŽ‰ Introduction

This Blueberry Peach Feta Salad is the essence of summer in a bowl β€” 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.

It’s vibrant, elegant, and incredibly easy to make β€” the kind of salad that’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.


🧰 Equipment Needed

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

πŸ›’ Ingredients

For the Salad

  • 4 cups mixed greens (arugula, spinach, or spring mix)
  • 2 ripe peaches, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • Β½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ΒΌ cup toasted pecans or walnuts
  • ΒΌ small red onion, thinly sliced
  • Fresh mint or basil leaves (optional for garnish)

For the Honey-Lime Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

πŸ‘©β€πŸ³ Directions

Step 1: Make the Dressing

In a small bowl or jar, whisk together olive oil, honey, lime juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until emulsified.
Set aside or refrigerate until ready to serve.


Step 2: Assemble the Salad

Sprinkle feta and nuts over the top.

πŸ’‘ Pro Tip: Toast the nuts in a dry skillet for 3–4 minutes for extra crunch and flavor.


Step 3: Dress & Toss

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.
