Peach Salad with Blueberries and Feta
Summer peaches are one of the most versatile fruits of the season. Even when not in season you can buy frozen peaches that are ripe and delicious.
Fruit in a green salad adds a lovely sweetness that plays well off of the slight saltiness of the dressing and feta cheese. It's such a nice combination!
How To Make a Dressing for Peach Salad
Most salad dressings need something acidic, such a vinegar or the juice of a citrus fruit. Then oil, such as extra virgin olive oil or other light oil is added. From there you want to season it with a little salt and pepper.
To balance out the acidic flavor, honey is my favorite sweetener to add.
Mixing it couldn't be easier! Just add all of the dressing ingredients to a bowl and whisk. Or, add to a small mason jar with a lid and shake well.
Peach Salad with Blueberries and Feta is A Versatile Salad
You can make any substitution that you want to suit your taste or diet.
• Walnuts are a nice substitute for the pine nuts.
• If you don't have blueberries, try strawberries.
• You can omit the feta cheese, or try a different variety, such a goat cheese.
• If you don't want peaches, try nectarines or strawberries.

- Heat your grill or frying pan to medium-high heat. Brush the peaches with some of the dressing. Then set the cut sides down on the surface of the grill or frying pan and cook until the peaches have a nice char on them**. Remove to a cutting board.
- When the peaches are cooled enough to handle, slice them and arrange on the salad.
- Pour the dressing evenly over the top of the salad and serve immediately.

This is soooo good! I didn't grill the peaches I tried frying them because I don't have a grill. We loved the flavors in the salad!
