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!
