Ingredients
Scale
4 cups mixed greens (such as spinach or spring mix)
2 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced
1 cup fresh blueberries
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup toasted pecans or walnuts (optional)
For the Vinaigrette:
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, sliced peaches, and fresh blueberries.
Gently toss the fruit and greens with about half of the prepared vinaigrette. Add more dressing as needed to lightly coat the ingredients.
Transfer the salad to a serving platter or individual bowls.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and toasted nuts (if using) evenly over the top of the salad.
Serve immediately as a healthy salad recipe with fruit or a gourmet summer side dish.
Notes
Toast the nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes until fragrant before adding them to the salad.
You can substitute goat cheese for feta cheese if you prefer a different berry and cheese salad pairing.
Make the vinaigrette up to two days ahead and store it in the refrigerator. Shake well before using.
