This Grilled Peach Blueberry Salad has become my favorite way to celebrate summer’s sweetest produce. Juicy peaches and plump blueberries get layered over crisp greens with a tangy vinaigrette for a dish that is equal parts elegant and easy. It is just right for everything from a backyard lunch to a showstopper starter for friends.

Ingredients

  • Ripe peaches: choose ones that yield slightly to pressure for best grilling flavor
  • Fresh blueberries: look for firm plump berries for juicy pops throughout
  • Mixed greens: arugula spinach or spring mix gives body and a peppery bite
  • Crumbled feta cheese: adds salty creaminess but goat cheese works too
  • Toasted pecans or walnuts: brings crunch and nutty warmth toast in a skillet to highlight flavor
  • Olive oil: pick a good extra-virgin oil for dressing depth
  • Balsamic vinegar: for tang choose aged for smoothness
  • Honey: ties the dressing together with gentle sweetness
  • Dijon mustard: gives body and zest to the vinaigrette
  • Salt and pepper: freshly ground for best taste

I always crave the toasted pecans because they remind me of summer picnics when my mom would roast nuts just before guests arrived Their aroma brings the recipe to life

Storage Tips

Store leftover salad without dressing in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one day Only add the dressing right before serving to keep the greens and fruit crisp If you have extra grilled peaches they keep nicely in the fridge and can be added to yogurt or oatmeal

Ingredient Substitutions

Swap feta with goat cheese or vegan cheese for a dairy-free version Use almonds or pumpkin seeds instead of pecans if you need a nut-free option You can also use nectarines in place of peaches with wonderful results

Grilling fruit is a beloved summer tradition in many places The character this simple step gives to peaches transports me back to warm evenings around a family grill surrounded by laughter and fireflies

Recipe Questions

→ How do I get perfect grill marks on peaches?

Brush peach halves lightly with oil and grill over medium-high heat without moving for 3-4 minutes. This ensures distinct grill marks and caramelization.

→ Can I use another type of cheese besides feta?

Yes, goat cheese or blue cheese work well, providing a creamy counterpoint to the sweet fruits and tangy dressing.

→ What greens pair best with this salad?

Arugula, spinach, and mixed spring greens all complement the flavors, adding freshness and a hint of peppery bite.

→ What can I substitute for pecans or walnuts?

Almonds, pistachios, or sunflower seeds provide similar crunch and can be used based on personal preference or availability.

→ Is there a way to make the salad in advance?

Grill peaches and prepare dressing up to a day ahead. Assemble all salad components just before serving for best texture and flavor.
