Summer Peach Salad
July 16, 2024
This vibrant summer peach salad is a seasonal delight that captures the essence of sun-kissed days. When the sunlight hours are long and the temperatures are warm, local farmers’ markets brim with bushels of ripe, delicious clingstones, donuts, whites, and classic yellow peaches. Sure, you can get peaches year-round—in cans, even—but there’s nothing quite like the juicy sweetness of fresh summer fruit to elevate a salad.
To make our easy summer peach salad recipe, we paired sliced yellow peaches with a bold flavor trifecta of smoky toasted almonds, creamy goat cheese, and tangy Balsamic Vinaigrette made with avocado oil. Add earthy avocado slices and crisp mini cucumbers and you have a bright, refreshing salad that’s the best of summer in every bite. For more protein, top your peach salad with a grilled chicken breast marinated in our mouthwatering balsamic dressing!

Balsamic vinaigrette and peaches go together like summer and sunshine. Made with a handful of fresh ingredients, this easy 10-minute summer peach salad drizzled with balsamic dressing brings all of the season’s best flavors and textures together: creamy, sweet, crisp, toasty, tangy, and totally delicious. Serve it as a breezy summer lunch or a light dinner after a day at the beach.

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup almonds, roughly chopped
- 6 cups mixed leafy greens

- 1/2 cup Persian (mini) cucumbers, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese
-
1/4 cup Primal Kitchen Balsamic Vinaigrette
Directions
Toast almonds over medium-low heat in a medium pan until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Set them aside to cool.

- Top with peaches, avocado, cucumbers, goat cheese, and toasted almonds.
- Drizzle with Balsamic Vinaigrette before serving, about 1 tablespoon per plate.
Recipe Note
- Nutritional information calculated using Cronometer.
- If goat cheese isn't your preference or if you're looking for a sharper taste, crumbled feta is a great alternative.
- If you can’t find mini cucumbers, you can use regular cucumbers. Just cut the larger slices into quarters to mimic the size and texture of mini cucumbers.
