Ingredients
Scale
Dressing
- 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
Salad
- 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
- Make the dressing: In a large measuring cup, whisk together the white balsamic vinegar, finely grated lemon zest, Dijon mustard, and kosher salt until well combined. While continuing to whisk, slowly pour in the extra-virgin olive oil until the mixture is smooth and emulsified. Add the finely chopped shallots to the dressing and whisk to combine thoroughly.
- Combine salad ingredients: Transfer half of the dressing to a large bowl. Add the sliced peaches, Persian cucumber rounds, fresh blueberries, and thinly sliced basil to the bowl. Toss gently to ensure all the fruit and vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Finish and serve: Drizzle the remaining dressing over the salad mixture for a boost of flavor. Finally, top the salad generously with crumbled feta cheese. Serve immediately for the freshest taste.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm peaches to prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Persian cucumbers add a nice crunch and mild flavor; substitute with English cucumbers if unavailable.
- For a vegan option, replace feta with a plant-based cheese alternative.
- If preparing ahead, keep the dressing separate and toss just before serving to maintain freshness and texture.
- This salad pairs well with grilled chicken or fish for a complete meal.
