Salad and Dressing Ingredients

3 ripe peaches, sliced thinly
1 cup fresh blueberries
4 cups mixed greens (try spinach, arugula, or spring mix—they all work great)
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
¼ cup sliced almonds, toasted (pecans or walnuts work nicely too)
2 tablespoons thinly sliced red onion
3 tablespoons good-quality olive oil
1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup to keep it vegan)
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper, to taste

Assemble and Dress the Salad

Toast sliced almonds in a single layer at 350°F for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, or toast in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden; let cool.
Whisk together olive oil, honey, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth; set dressing aside.
Taste the dressing and adjust sweetness, acidity, and seasoning as desired.
Rinse mixed greens and dry thoroughly (use a salad spinner or pat dry with towels).
Slice peaches thinly and evenly.
If using canned peaches, drain them thoroughly and pat dry before slicing.
Thinly slice the red onion.
Measure out the blueberries; if frozen, thaw completely, drain, and pat dry.
Crumble the feta cheese.
Spread the mixed greens in a large bowl or on a serving platter.
Arrange the peach slices, blueberries, crumbled feta, red onion slices, and toasted almonds evenly over the greens.
Just before serving, drizzle the honey-lemon dressing over the salad.
Gently toss the salad with tongs, taking care not to bruise the peaches or burst the blueberries, until everything is evenly coated.

Common Questions Answered

Can I use canned peaches?
Fresh peaches definitely shine best for texture and taste, but if fresh aren’t available, canned peaches can work. Just drain them thoroughly and pat dry to avoid extra syrup that could make the salad soggy. Fresh fruit will always give you that bright, juicy experience we want, but canned can be a handy backup.
How do I toast nuts?
Toasting nuts is super easy and makes a big difference. Spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring a couple times to toast evenly without burning. Or toast in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until they turn golden and smell toasty. The flavor and crunch they add are just worth the little effort.
What greens work best?
I lean toward a mix like spinach, arugula, or spring mix for this salad. They bring great flavor and contrasting textures without overpowering the fruit and cheese. Baby spinach is milder and softer while arugula adds a nice peppery zing. For a spinach-forward example, try this beet and spinach salad with a honey-mustard lemon dressing.
Can I make this salad ahead?
Yes! You can make the dressing and keep it chilled. Also, slice the fruit ahead but I recommend waiting to assemble the salad until right before serving to keep greens crisp and fresh. For extra convenience, store fruit and greens separately and toss together when ready to eat.
What if I don’t like feta?
No problem! You can swap feta for goat cheese, which has a similar tangy creaminess, or try blue cheese if you like a bolder flavor. For something milder, shredded mozzarella or ricotta work well. If you’re going dairy-free, look for vegan cheese crumbles that suit your taste.
Can I use frozen blueberries?
Fresh blueberries hold their best texture, but frozen can work if fully thawed and well drained. Just pat off extra moisture so your salad doesn’t get watery.
Is this salad keto-friendly?
With a few tweaks, yes! You could reduce or skip the honey to lower sugar, using a low-carb sweetener instead if you prefer. Watch your portions on peaches and blueberries since they’re fruit sugars. The nuts, feta, and olive oil help keep it keto-friendly while still tasting great and filling. For a satisfying low-carb main to pair with it, see Lemon Garlic Chicken Zoodles.
How do I make it nut-free?
Swap nuts for crunchy seeds like sunflower, pumpkin, or sesame to keep texture without allergen worries. Or skip them entirely if you prefer. These seeds add great flavor and nutrition without the risk.
Can I double the recipe?
Absolutely! Just multiply all ingredients as needed. Perfect for feeding a larger crowd or prepping extra for later.
