Ingredients

Scale

Salad Ingredients

  • 2 ripe peaches
  • 4 cups mixed greens
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds

Dressing Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt


Instructions

  1. Wash the peaches: Begin by washing the peaches thoroughly under cool running water to remove any dirt or pesticides.
  2. Prepare the peaches: Carefully cut the peaches in half, removing the pit from each.
  3. Slice the peaches: Slice the peaches into thin wedges or bite-sized pieces, depending on your preference.
  4. Clean the greens: Next, wash the mixed greens by placing them in a colander and rinsing them under cool water.
  5. Dry the greens: Gently pat the mixed greens dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  6. Combine greens: Transfer the cleaned greens into a large mixing bowl, ensuring they are evenly spread out.
  7. Add feta cheese: Crumble the feta cheese into small pieces and scatter it over the top of the mixed greens in the bowl.
  8. Add almonds: Add the sliced almonds to the bowl, distributing them evenly throughout the salad.
  9. Drizzle olive oil: Drizzle one tablespoon of olive oil evenly over the salad ingredients.
  10. Add balsamic vinegar: Follow by adding one tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, ensuring a light coating over the salad.
  11. Drizzle honey: Pour one teaspoon of honey over the top, allowing it to drizzle over the other ingredients.
  12. Season with pepper: Sprinkle a quarter teaspoon of black pepper evenly across the salad for seasoning.
  13. Season with salt: Add a quarter teaspoon of salt to enhance the flavor of the salad.
  14. Toss the salad: Toss the salad gently using salad tongs or your hands, making sure all ingredients are well-coated with the dressing.
  15. Taste and adjust: Once mixed, check the flavor and add more salt or pepper if necessary.
  16. Serve immediately: Serve the salad immediately for the best texture and freshness.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, toast the sliced almonds lightly before adding to the salad.
  • You can substitute balsamic vinegar with apple cider vinegar for a different flavor profile.
  • If peaches are out of season, nectarines make a great alternative.
  • This salad is best enjoyed fresh to maintain the texture of the peaches and greens.
  • Add grilled chicken or shrimp to make it a protein-rich meal.
