Blueberry Peach Feta Salad

Blueberry Peach Feta Salad first came together for me on a sunny afternoon when I had a bowl of ripe peaches on the counter and a handful of blueberries that needed using so I tossed them over some leafy greens added a sprinkle of feta and finished with a drizzle of balsamic glaze. It was meant to be a light snack but turned into one of the most refreshing and colorful salads I’d ever tasted.

I love this salad because it feels like summer in every bite so the juicy peaches the burst of blueberries and the creamy tang of feta all come together in the most vibrant way and it’s now a go-to when I want something sweet savory and beautifully simple.

Ingredients

Here’s what I use for this recipe. You can always make substitutions if you prefer!

• Fresh peaches – Juicy and sweet they’re the star of this salad.
• Blueberries – A burst of tartness that balances the sweetness of the peaches.
• Feta cheese – Creamy and salty it adds richness and contrast.
• Red onion – Thinly sliced for sharpness and crunch.
• Mixed greens or spinach – A fresh base that lets the fruits shine.
• Balsamic glaze – Sweet tangy and perfect for drizzling.
• Olive oil – Adds smooth richness to the salad.
• Salt and pepper – A little seasoning to balance the sweet and savory elements.

Tools You’ll Need

• Cutting board – For slicing peaches and onions safely and cleanly.
• Sharp knife – Essential for clean fruit slices and thin onion cuts.
• Large salad bowl or serving platter – To layer and serve everything beautifully.
• Small spoon or squeeze bottle – For drizzling balsamic glaze evenly.
• Tongs or salad fork – Helpful for gently tossing and serving the salad.

Instructions

I start by slicing the fresh peaches into thin wedges and removing the pits.

Step 2:

Next I rinse the blueberries and pat them dry to keep the salad crisp.

Step 3:

Step 4:

In a large bowl or on a serving plate I layer the greens followed by peaches red onion and blueberries.

I crumble feta over the top and give it a light drizzle of olive oil and balsamic glaze.

Step 6:

I finish with a sprinkle of salt and freshly ground black pepper then serve immediately for the freshest flavor.

Tips

If you don’t have balsamic glaze you can reduce balsamic vinegar with a little honey until it thickens. I’ve also tried this salad with goat cheese or mozzarella pearls and it’s just as delicious. For extra texture you can sprinkle in candied pecans or sunflower seeds. And if you’re packing it to-go keep the dressing separate until just before eating.

Ways to Serve

This salad is perfect as a light lunch or elegant starter for summer dinners. I love serving it alongside grilled chicken or fish and it’s beautiful on brunch tables too. You can also turn it into a main course by adding grilled shrimp or sliced prosciutto.
