Description

This Nectarine Salad with balsamic vinaigrette is the perfect summer salad! This salad is great as a side or a main and so easy to make!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 cups mixed greens
  • 3 nectarines, pitted and sliced
  • 2-4 radishes, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese or 1/2 cup feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup roughly chopped walnuts (raw or toasted)

Dressing

  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Add the greens, nectarines, radishes, red onion, crumbled blue cheese or feta, and chopped walnuts to a large mixing bowl and toss together gently.
  2. In a separate bowl or jar, mix together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, dijon mustard, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Whisk together or shake in a jar and pour over the salad.
  3. Toss again and enjoy.

Notes

Wilted greens: If you’re serving the salad right away, I recommend whisking the dressing in the serving bowl and then adding all the ingredients on top and tossing them together to avoid having extra dishes. If you’re not, it’s best to mix the salad ingredients separately and then pour the dressing on top because the greens wilt very quickly. 

Kale: Use massaged kale if you want the salad to stay fresh for longer, it doesn’t wilt as easily.

Add-ins: Roasted chicken or turkey would be great addition for added protein.

Storing: Store any leftover salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
