Ingredients

Scale

Fruit and Vegetables

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

Salad Toppings

  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

Vinaigrette Dressing

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

Instructions

  1. Combine the salad ingredients: In a large serving bowl, add the fresh blueberries, diced peaches, sliced Persian cucumbers, and crumbled feta cheese.
  2. Prepare the vinaigrette: In a jar with a lid or a measuring cup, combine the fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, finely chopped basil, kosher salt, and fresh ground black pepper.
  3. Mix the dressing: Shake the jar vigorously or whisk the ingredients together until the vinaigrette is well emulsified and combined.
  4. Toss the salad: Pour the vinaigrette evenly over the fruit and vegetable mixture, then gently mix everything together to coat the ingredients with the dressing. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with additional chopped basil if desired.
  5. Serve or store: Enjoy the salad immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. This salad is best served chilled.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushy pieces in the salad.
  • Persian cucumbers are preferred for their small size and thin skin but regular cucumbers work fine as well.
  • The salad can be prepared a few hours ahead and refrigerated, but add the feta just before serving to keep it fresh.
  • Adjust the sweetness of the dressing by adding more or less honey according to taste.
  • For a nutty crunch, consider adding chopped toasted almonds or walnuts as a topping.
