Summer is the perfect time to enjoy fresh fruits, and peaches are at their peak during this season. This salad brings together the sweetness of ripe peaches, the tanginess of feta cheese, and the crunch of mixed greens and vegetables.

We dressed this salad with our homemade Peach Mint Vinaigrette; however, it would be amazing with a light balsamic vinaigrette or a creamy citrus dressing too.

Ingredients You'll Need

Creating this peach salad doesn’t require a lot of ingredients or time. Here's what you'll need:

• 2 ripe peaches
• 4 cups of mixed greens (spring mix, spinach, arugula, and/or baby kale)
• 1/4 cup of crumbled feta cheese
• 8 ounces grape tomatoes
• 2 baby cucumbers
• 1/2 of a small shallot or red onion thinly sliced and pickled (optional)
• Peach mint vinaigrette or your favorite salad dressing

Step-by-Step Preparation

This peach salad comes together quickly. Follow these simple steps:

1. Wash the peaches and mixed greens thoroughly under cool water. Pat dry.

2. Slice the peaches into thin quarters or wedges. If you prefer, you can peel them, but leaving the skin on adds extra texture and nutrients.

3. In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, peach slices, tomatoes and baby cucumbers. Top with crumbled feta cheese, and shallots or red onions, if using.

4. Toss the salad gently with your choice of salad dressing to ensure all ingredients are fully coated with the dressing. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Serving Suggestions

This peach salad can be served as an appetizer or a main course, depending on your preference. Pair it with a chilled glass of white wine or iced tea for a refreshing summer meal. You can add grilled chicken or fish to the salad for a more filling meal.
