Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe peaches
- 6 cups mixed greens
- 1 cup walnuts or pecans
- 0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 0.25 cup red onion
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Toast the walnuts or pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3–5 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly browned and fragrant. Remove from heat and let them cool.
Wash and dry the peaches. Slice them into thin wedges and set aside.
Thinly slice the red onion into small strips. If you find the flavor too strong, you can soak the slices in cold water for 5 minutes and then pat them dry.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to make the vinaigrette. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, toasted nuts, sliced peaches, red onions, and crumbled feta cheese.
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated.
Serve immediately as a refreshing and vibrant salad. Enjoy!
