Sometimes the most unexpected combinations result in the most delicious dishes, like with our peach, blueberry, and feta salad. The refreshing creation combines sweetness, creaminess, and sharpness in a delicious salad that enhances any summer day, or elevates any summer evening. It is, so-to-say, a must-try!
Peach, Blueberry & Feta Salad: What’s In a Name?
Skeptical about salads that feature fruit and cheese? Understandable, but we will have to advise to do as that old saying goes, and ‘don’t knock it until you try it!’ Peppery arugula forms the base for this extraordinary salad, while juicy peaches provide sweet notes that harmonize perfectly with the small, sweet blueberries. Tangy feta complements the interplay with its slight brininess and lends the dish a wonderful creaminess. Almonds add a crunchy texture and round out the salad beautifully.
To pair with the salad, we recommend a simple but refined dressing, consisting of nothing more than olive oil, vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. This uncomplicated dressing underscores the individual flavors without overpowering them. The result: a salad that tastes like summer.
Once you’ve settled and sweetened on the salad, the rest is all child’s play. Really! This salad can be dressed up and down with all the fruits summer has to offer. Nectarines also taste great in place of peaches, while raspberries and a mild mozzarella pair wonderfully well. Chicken, shrimp, or tofu will also add another level to our peach, blueberry, and feta salad. Experimenting with different nuts and seeds for the toppings can also add a wonderfully textured twist to your bowl.
Our peach, blueberry, and feta salad shows how wonderful simplicity can taste and extends a warm invitation to go ahead and try something new. This fresh summer salad is one that leaves a smile on our face with every bite. So, grab a fork and enjoy!
