Summer Peach Salad

This Summer Peach Salad with honey lemon dressing is one of my favorites! It’s an incredibly refreshing, must-have side dish that’s made with fresh delicious peaches and a simple dressing to compliment it. This is sure to be a crowd favorite!

We have been having such a great summer, no traveling just enjoying the beach and barbecuing in our backyard. We needed a summer like this one… slow-paced and relaxing. We’ve been a little fruit crazy this summer as well which led me to create different variations of fruit salads. This one is by far my favorite.

If you are a peach lover this peach salad is for you!

You can make it in no time and the aroma of the sweet peaches and fresh fruit will have everyone wanting for more. Even your kids will enjoy it.

To elevate this peach salad all it takes is a little honey and lemon to really make this salad sing. And just when you think it can’t get any better the honey lemon dressing also makes this peach salad truly shine (literally and figuratively)!

How to Make Peach Salad

• Prepare fruit: Prepare all fruit by slicing thinly. Be sure to remove pits from cherries and add them to a large mixing bowl.

• Making the dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, honey, salt, and thyme until well combined. 

• Toss fruit with dressing: Pour dressing over fruit and gently mix until fruit is evenly coated.

NOTES

• Feel free to use any combination of fresh fruit – you can keep it super simple with just one or two, or use a few different types. 

• If you don’t like (or don’t have) any fresh thyme, feel free to sub with mint or basil. 

 

 

 

You can certainly enjoy the peach salad as is, but a sweet and tangy dressing will elevate the taste even further. With a little honey and lemon juice, plus fresh thyme, the citrus oils add a pleasant aroma to the dressing. If desired, you can substitute with lime juice or orange juice for a milder tartness. This dressing will glaze the fruit and infuse the flavors together.
