Peach Feta Salad: The Recipe I Actually Make All Summer

I’ve been living on this Peach Feta Salad. It’s basically just a bowl of ripe peaches, salty feta, and some herbs. When it’s this hot out, and I see peaches on the counter, this is just what happens. It takes no time and doesn’t heat up the kitchen. That’s all there is to it.

What I Use for This Peach Feta Salad

Don’t write this down, just get things that look good.

• The Salad Stuff:
  • 3 ripe, juicy peaches. Don’t bother with the hard ones.
  • A pint of cherry tomatoes, halved.
  • A block of feta in brine. You crumble it. The other kind is dust.
  • Some thin slices of red onion.
  • A bunch of basil. Torn, not chopped.
  • Some mint.
  • Toasted pecans, if you have them. They’re good for crunch.
• The Dressing:
  • Olive oil.
  • A whole lemon.
  • Honey.
  • Dijon mustard.
  • Salt, pepper.

The Assembly Process

It’s just a few steps. Don’t overthink it.

Step 1: The Dressing

Put the oil, lemon juice, honey, and mustard in a jar. Lid on. Shake it hard. Give it a taste. You know what to do.

Step 2: The Base

Bowl. Peaches, tomatoes, onion. A quick toss. Don’t smash the peaches.

Step 3: The Rest of It

Throw in the basil and mint. Add the feta you crumbled. And the pecans. Fold it all together once. Stop stirring.

Step 4: Finishing It

Pour some dressing on. Not all of it. Just enough to coat. Toss it one last time. Your Peach Feta Salad is done.

Notes

Use good peaches. Seriously. If they're hard the salad won't be as good.

The feta that comes in a block in brine is way better than the dry pre-crumbled stuff.

Don't dress it until you're ready to eat. It will get soggy if it sits around.
