Ingredients

Fruit and Vegetables

  • 1 pint fresh blueberries
  • 2 peaches, diced
  • 2 Persian cucumbers, sliced

Dressing

  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped basil
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Other

  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

  1. Combine the salad ingredients: In a large serving bowl, add the fresh blueberries, diced peaches, sliced Persian cucumbers, and crumbled feta cheese. Gently toss these ingredients together to combine.
  2. Prepare the vinaigrette: In a jar with a tight-fitting lid or a measuring cup, combine fresh lemon juice, dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, finely chopped basil, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Shake the jar vigorously or whisk the mixture until it is well emulsified and smooth.
  3. Toss the salad with dressing: Pour the prepared vinaigrette over the salad ingredients in the bowl. Gently mix everything together to evenly coat the fruits, vegetables, and feta with the dressing. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if desired.
  4. Serve or chill: Garnish the salad with additional fresh basil leaves if desired. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate the salad until ready to serve to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe peaches and blueberries for the best flavor and texture.
  • The salad is best served the same day but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
  • Feel free to substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan option, but note that feta cheese is not vegan.
  • Adding toasted nuts like pecans or walnuts can add a satisfying crunch.
  • This salad pairs wonderfully with grilled chicken or fish for a light meal.
