Introduction

This vibrant Blueberry Peach Feta Salad combines sweet, tangy, and savory flavors for a refreshing bite perfect for warm days. Juicy peaches and fresh blueberries pair beautifully with creamy feta and a zesty shallot dressing.

This dish shows a fresh salad in a white bowl with layers of thin cucumber slices at the bottom, giving a light green base with a moist texture. On top, there are many thick peach slices with a yellow-orange color and red skin edges, arranged around and overlapping each other. Scattered between the peach slices are small, shiny black blueberries that add glossy dark spots. There are also chunks of white, crumbly cheese placed evenly over the fruit and cucumber, and some small green herb bits mixed in. The salad is lightly sprinkled with ground black pepper and tiny pink pieces of shallot, all sitting on a white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

6 Tbsp. white balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 tsp. finely grated lemon zest

3/4 tsp. Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp. kosher salt

3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped shallots

4 medium yellow peaches, halved lengthwise, cut into 1/4″-thick slices
4 Persian cucumbers, sliced into 1/4″-thick rounds
2 cups fresh blueberries

2 Tbsp. thinly sliced fresh basil
3/4 cup crumbled feta (about 4.5 oz.)

Instructions

Step 1: In a large measuring cup, whisk together white balsamic vinegar, lemon zest, Dijon mustard, and kosher salt. While continuously whisking, slowly pour in the extra-virgin olive oil until the dressing is smooth and emulsified. Stir in the finely chopped shallots, then transfer half of the dressing to a large bowl.

Step 2: Add the sliced peaches, cucumber rounds, fresh blueberries, and sliced fresh basil to the bowl with the dressing. Toss gently to combine and evenly coat the fruit and vegetables. Drizzle the remaining dressing over the salad, then top with crumbled feta cheese before serving.

Tips & Variations

For extra crunch, sprinkle toasted sliced almonds or walnuts on top.
Swap basil for fresh mint to add a cool, bright flavor.

Use red or white peaches based on availability for a slight variation in sweetness.
Make the dressing a day ahead to deepen the flavors and let the shallots soften.

Storage

Store any leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Because fresh fruit can release juices, toss the salad gently before serving again. Add the feta just before serving to keep it from becoming soggy. Reheating is not recommended; serve chilled or at room temperature.
