A delightful combination of juicy fruits and crisp vegetables, offering a burst of flavor in every bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pint fresh blueberries
- 2 peaches, diced
- 2 Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced
- ½ cup crumbled feta
- 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp finely chopped basil
- Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Begin your culinary journey by taking a large mixing bowl and adding the fresh blueberries—let their vibrant color inspire your creation. Next, introduce the diced peaches, allowing their sweetness to mix with the berries. Then, add the thinly sliced Persian cucumbers, which bring in a welcome crunch. Finally, sprinkle in the crumbled feta cheese for that salty touch that perfectly balances the sweetness of the fruit.
- In a small bowl or jar, combine the fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, and olive oil. This combination creates the foundation of your dressing—a zesty and sweet blend that will enhance the flavors of your salad. Whisk or shake the mixture until it’s well combined and slightly emulsified. Don’t forget to season with kosher salt and black pepper to elevate the taste.
- Once your dressing is ready, pour it over the salad mixture. Gently toss the ingredients together using tongs or a large spoon, ensuring that every piece of fruit and vegetable is coated with the zesty vinaigrette. This step is essential for integrating all the flavors, allowing each bite to shine. After tossing, taste the salad and adjust the seasoning as desired, perhaps adding a little sprinkle of salt or pepper if needed.
- Your Refreshing Summer Medley is now complete! For a beautiful presentation, consider garnishing the top with additional fresh basil leaves. This not only makes your dish visually appealing but also adds a burst of aromatic flavor. You can serve it immediately or let it chill in the refrigerator for a little while—either way, it’s bound to be a hit at your next summer gathering.
