Ingredients
Salad
- 4-6 cups mixed greens (a 50/50 blend recommended)
- 2-3 large yellow peaches, thinly sliced
- ¾ cup blueberries
- ½-⅔ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ½ cup candied pecans
Seasoning & Dressing
- Cracked black pepper, to taste
- Extra virgin olive oil (good quality), to taste
- Balsamic glaze (store bought or homemade), to taste
Instructions
- Assemble the salad: Add the mixed greens to a large bowl or divide them evenly into individual bowls. Layer the thinly sliced peaches, blueberries, crumbled feta cheese, and candied pecans evenly over the greens.
- Toss: Drizzle your desired amount of extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze over the salad. Season with cracked black pepper according to your taste. Gently toss the salad until all ingredients are coated evenly and the flavors meld together. Taste and adjust the olive oil, balsamic glaze, or black pepper as needed.
- Serve: Optionally garnish with extra candied pecans for added crunch and visual appeal. Serve the salad immediately to enjoy its fresh flavors and crisp textures.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm yellow peaches for the best texture and flavor.
- Candied pecans can be store-bought or homemade; they add sweetness and crunch.
- Balsamic glaze can be substituted with a balsamic reduction if preferred.
- This salad is best served fresh; dressing it right before serving prevents the greens from wilting.
- For extra protein, consider adding grilled chicken or tofu.
