Ingredients
- 2 ripe peaches, diced
- 1 cup blueberries, fresh
- 1 cup baby spinach, rinsed and dried

- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinaigrette
- Salt and pepper, to taste
How to Make
To create your Summer Peach Blueberry Salad, start by washing all your fresh produce thoroughly. In a large bowl, add the diced peaches and blueberries, making sure to mix them gently so as not to bruise the blueberries. Next, toss in the baby spinach, allowing the vibrant greens to complement the fruits. Crumble the feta cheese over the top for that perfect salty contrast, then drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette evenly. Season with salt and pepper to your preference, and toss lightly to combine. Serve immediately for the freshest taste.
Tips
- Choose air-tight containers for better freshness when storing.
- Fresh fruits are best; avoid canned varieties for this recipe.
Make-Ahead
This salad can be prepared up to a few hours in advance. Just keep the dressing separate until it’s time to serve to maintain the freshness of the spinach.
Storing
Store leftover salad in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Note that the spinach may wilt over time.
Freezing
It is not recommended to freeze this salad, as fresh fruits lose their texture when thawed.
Reheating
No reheating is necessary. This salad is best served chilled or at room temperature.
Serving Suggestions
