Ingredients
For the Salad:
1 pint fresh blueberries
2 peaches, diced (or nectarines)
2 Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced (or 1 regular cucumber)
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (or crumbled goat cheese)
For the Vinaigrette:
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh basil (or mint)
Kosher salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
-
Rinse the blueberries and pat them dry. Dice the peaches and slice the cucumbers.
-
In a large bowl, combine the blueberries, peaches, cucumbers, and crumbled feta. Toss gently.
-
In a jar or small bowl, combine lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, chopped basil, salt, and pepper. Shake or whisk until emulsified.
-
Pour the vinaigrette over the salad. Toss lightly to coat without crushing the blueberries or feta.
-
Serve immediately or refrigerate for a few hours. Toss again gently before serving. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.
Notes
-
Goat cheese can be used instead of feta.
-
Mint can be substituted for basil.
-
Salad is best served fresh but can be made a few hours ahead.
