Introduction

This Blueberry Peach Feta Salad is a refreshing and vibrant dish perfect for warm-weather meals. Combining juicy peaches, sweet blueberries, and tangy feta cheese, it’s dressed with a bright white balsamic vinaigrette that brightens every bite.

A close-up view of a fresh salad in a white bowl shows several layers mixed together: thick slices of yellow peach with red edges form the main layer, surrounded by thin rounds of green cucumber. Scattered throughout are small, dark blueberries and chunks of crumbly white cheese. The salad is lightly sprinkled with ground black pepper and tiny bits of red onion, giving it a speckled look. Thin strips of yellow lemon peel curl between the layers, adding a bright accent to the smooth, shiny textures of the fruit and vegetables. The bowl rests on a white marbled surface that highlights the vibrant colors of the salad. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

6 tbsp. white balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
3/4 tsp. Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
3/4 c. extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 c. finely chopped shallots
4 medium yellow peaches, halved lengthwise, cut into 1/4″-thick slices
4 Persian cucumbers, sliced into 1/4″-thick rounds
2 c. fresh blueberries
2 tbsp. thinly sliced fresh basil
3/4 c. crumbled feta (about 4.5 oz.)

Instructions

Step 1: In a large measuring cup, whisk together the white balsamic vinegar, lemon zest, Dijon mustard, and kosher salt. Slowly pour in the extra-virgin olive oil while whisking continuously until the dressing is smooth and emulsified. Stir in the finely chopped shallots.
Step 2: Transfer half of the dressing to a large bowl. Add the sliced peaches, Persian cucumbers, fresh blueberries, and sliced basil to the bowl. Toss gently to coat the fruit and vegetables evenly with the dressing.
Step 3: Drizzle the remaining dressing over the salad and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top. Serve immediately for the freshest flavor.

Tips & Variations

For a hint of sweetness, drizzle a small amount of honey into the dressing before whisking.
Swap Persian cucumbers with English cucumbers if unavailable, for a similar crisp texture.
Add toasted nuts such as sliced almonds or pecans for extra crunch and depth.
Use goat cheese instead of feta for a creamier, tangier alternative.

Storage

Store leftover salad and dressing separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Toss the salad with dressing just before serving to maintain freshness and prevent the fruit from becoming soggy. Leftovers can be served cold or at room temperature.

FAQs

Can I prepare this salad in advance?

It’s best to prepare the dressing and chop ingredients ahead of time but toss the salad with dressing right before serving to keep the fruit fresh and prevent sogginess.
