This vibrant Blueberry Peach Feta Salad is a light and refreshing summer dish that brings together juicy peaches, sweet blueberries, crunchy cucumbers, and tangy feta. Tossed with a zesty lemon-basil vinaigrette, it’s perfect as a side or a stand-alone salad for any warm-weather meal.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4-6 servings

Ingredients

Salad

  • 1 pint fresh blueberries
  • 2 peaches, diced
  • 2 Persian cucumbers, sliced
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta

Lemon-Basil Vinaigrette

  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped basil
  • Kosher salt and freshly 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. Gently toss to distribute the ingredients evenly, being careful not to crush the fruit.
  2. Make the Lemon-Basil Vinaigrette: In a small jar with a lid or in a measuring cup, combine the fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, chopped basil, and a generous pinch of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Secure the lid and shake vigorously, or whisk until the ingredients are emulsified and well blended.
  3. Toss the Salad: Pour the vinaigrette over the salad ingredients in the serving bowl. Using a large spoon or salad tongs, gently toss to coat everything evenly with the dressing without mashing the fruit or feta.
  4. Season and Serve: Taste the salad, adding more salt or pepper if needed. Garnish with additional chopped basil if desired. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve for a chilled, refreshing salad.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture.
  • English cucumber can be substituted for Persian cucumbers.
  • This salad is best enjoyed fresh, but can be refrigerated for a few hours before serving.
  • Add a sprinkle of toasted nuts or seeds for extra crunch.
  • For a vegan version, use plant-based feta or omit cheese.
