Peach Blueberry Salad with Citrus Vinaigrette

This fresh Blueberry Peach Feta Salad is a delicious balance of sweet, salty, fruity, peppery, creamy and packed with flavors. The best way to enjoy this salad is with a simple lemon vinaigrette, it’s an easy and delicious salad to serve all summer.

With summer heating up and our farmers market flooding with so many beautiful produce, frankly I’m having a hard time keeping up with the array of beautiful fruit and vegetables. I love a good salad in the summer for lunch and for dinner a refreshing salad to go with whatever we grill. Peaches are so juicy, sweet and delicious right now. California may not be renowned for peaches like Georgia, but it does have some darn good peaches and stone fruits. For this salad we paired them with salty-briny feta, sweet blueberries, soft peppery arugula and summer’s darling crisp cucumber. Tied all together with a delicious and refreshing lemon vinaigrette.

Make this salad for a light summer lunch or for dinner with pretty much any grilled protein, it makes a wonderful side dish to bring to a summer party. Simply dice a couple of ripe peaches, tossed with fresh arugula, sliced cucumbers, blueberries and finally add them with creamy feta.

Ingredient Highlight: Feta

I prefer a block of feta and crumble it before it using in a recipe. I read somewhere crumbled or pre grated cheese is coated with anti-caking agent to prevent drying out, sure its convenient, but there’s a huge difference is taste and texture. I love Israeli or Greek feta from Trader Joes if you’d like to know what I used here. But honestly any good quality block of fresh feta is the best and widely available.
