Summer Peach Salad
Description
This salad showcases ripe peaches and fresh blueberries providing natural sweetness alongside creamy avocado and soft mozzarella pearls. The addition of thinly sliced red onions and chopped pecans adds layering with mild pungency and nutty crunch. Mint contributes a cool herbaceous note that lifts the overall flavor profile. Chopped romaine lettuce provides a crisp base to hold the mix.
The dressing, a white balsamic vinaigrette with Dijon mustard, onion powder, and a touch of sugar, unifies these diverse ingredients with a lightly tangy, slightly sweet finish. Tossing the salad shortly before serving preserves the freshness and prevents sogginess, making it ideal for warm days when light and vibrant foods are preferred. This salad pairs well with grilled meats or as a stand-alone vegetarian option.
