A refreshing summer medley combining sweet blueberries, juicy peaches, crisp cucumbers, and creamy feta, topped with a light and zesty lemon vinaigrette.

Ingredients

1 pint fresh blueberries

2 peaches, diced

2 Persian cucumbers, sliced

1/2 cup crumbled feta

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon finely chopped basil

Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large serving bowl, combine the blueberries, peaches, cucumbers, and feta.
  2. In a jar with a lid, combine the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, basil, salt, and pepper. Shake or whisk together until the vinaigrette is well combined.
  3. Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and gently mix everything together. Taste for seasoning and garnish with extra basil.
  4. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

  • For a more substantial dish, add grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
  • If you don’t have feta, try goat cheese or mozzarella.
  • Add chopped almonds, walnuts, or pistachios for extra crunch.
  • Spice it up with a dash of red pepper flakes or jalapeño.
  • Swap basil for mint, cilantro, or parsley for a flavor variation.
  • This salad is naturally gluten-free and can be made vegan by omitting the feta or using a dairy-free alternative.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days, though the cucumbers may release moisture.
