For the Salad

3 tablespoons olive oil

1½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice

2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

  • Peaches – Choose ripe but firm peaches for best texture. White or yellow both work well.
  • Blueberries – Fresh is best, but you can use well-drained frozen blueberries in a pinch.
  • English cucumber – Sliced into half-moons so they aren’t too large in each bite. Persian cucumbers also work.
  • Feta – Crumbled goat cheese or mozzarella pearls can be used if you don’t have feta.
  • Basil – Fresh basil adds so much flavor here. Don’t skip it!

Make It Your Way

  • Add protein like grilled chicken, shrimp, or chickpeas to make this a meal.
  • Toss in arugula or spinach for a leafy green version.
  • Swap peaches for nectarines or even mango if that’s what you have on hand.
  • For crunch, try adding a handful of toasted almonds or walnuts.

FAQs

Can I make this salad ahead of time?

Yes! Prep the fruit and dressing a few hours in advance, but wait to add the dressing and feta until just before serving.

Do I need to peel the peaches?

Nope! Leave the skins on if they’re thin and smooth. If your peaches are very fuzzy or thick-skinned, feel free to peel them.

Can I use bottled lemon juice?

Fresh lemon juice really makes a difference in the vinaigrette, but bottled will work in a pinch.

Storage

I normally only store for 1 to 2 days in the refrigerator. The length of time will all depend on how the cut peaches hold up.
