This dish is light, flavorful, and showcases the sweetness of ripe peaches paired with the herbaceous notes of fresh basil. It’s a simple yet exquisite salad that is sure to impress your guests at any summer gathering.

For this recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:

To prepare this refreshing salad, start by washing and drying the mixed greens and basil leaves. In a large mixing bowl, combine the greens, basil, sliced peaches, crumbled feta cheese, and toasted walnuts. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the balsamic glaze, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.

Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together until well combined. Make sure the peaches are evenly coated with the dressing to enhance their flavor. Once everything is mixed, transfer the salad to a serving plate and drizzle a little more balsamic glaze on top for extra flair.
