🧰 Equipment Needed

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

🛒 Ingredients

For the Salad

4 cups mixed greens (arugula, spinach, or spring mix)
2 ripe peaches, thinly sliced
1 cup fresh blueberries
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
¼ cup toasted pecans or walnuts
¼ 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

👩‍🍳 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

In a large bowl, layer the greens, peaches, blueberries, and red onion.
Sprinkle feta and nuts over the top.

💡 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.
