Ingredients
Scale
For the Salad:
- 6 cups mixed salad greens (spinach, arugula, or romaine)
- 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries
- 2 ripe peaches, sliced into wedges
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ⅓ cup walnuts, toasted (optional)
For the Dressing:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 ½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Wash and dry the mixed greens and blueberries thoroughly.
- Slice the peaches into thin wedges.
- If using walnuts, toast them in a skillet over medium heat for 3–5 minutes until fragrant. Let cool.
- In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, blueberries, and sliced peaches.
- Sprinkle crumbled feta and toasted walnuts over the top.
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Drizzle dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.
- Serve immediately, or chill for 20–30 minutes before serving for enhanced flavor.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture.
- Toasting the walnuts enhances their flavor but can be skipped.
- For added protein, top with grilled chicken or chickpeas.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 day. Keep dressing separate if making ahead.
- Goat cheese can be substituted for feta.
