Summer Peach Salad

August 4, 2022
Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

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.

Wishing everyone a wonderful Summer! Stay cool and enjoy the Summer Fruit Recipes below!

  • 2 cups blueberries
  • 1 cup blackberries
  • 1 1/2 cups cherries

Honey Lemon Dressing

  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme, finely chopped
  • pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • Prepare all fruit by slicing thinly. Be sure to remove pits from cherries. 
  • In a large mixing bowl add all fruit.
  • In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, honey, salt, and thyme until well combined. 
  • Pour dressing over fruit and gently mix until fruit is coated. Enjoy right away or chill for 1 hour in the refrigerator before serving.

  • 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. 
  • Honey – I don’t recommend substitutions for this unless there’s an allergy (if so I’d maybe try maple syrup or brown rice syrup).
  • You can substitute the lemon juice with lime juice or orange juice for a milder tartness.

M i l i t a r y S p o u s e • I've been blogging for over ten years, documenting and sharing my home, DIYs, recipes, and our military journey, all through photography and writing. But, if you were to go through the thousands of photographs, I've taken throughout the years. You will notice the lack of photographs of myself. Not getting in front of the camera more is one of my biggest regrets.

Accepting yourself is one of the hardest things. Giving yourself grace is also hard. Loving yourself is the hardest thing of all. I beat myself up for not allowing myself to be in the frame. I'm self-conscious, and I'm not too fond of the way I look. I critique myself for not exercising more and not dressing up more often. But the truth of the matter is. I am loved. No matter what weight I am or how I look, I am loved. And so, as a way to strive to love myself more, I will take more pictures of myself with my kids and my husband and accept myself, love myself, and accept love from others.

📍Mt. Katsuudake, Okinawa Japan 

Wishing you a wonderful Friday my friends!

E x p l o r e • My two nomads, each step into the sand is unstable and unpredictable. It's easy to go down and seems impossible to climb back up just like life. But, they are going to take each step together. These sand dunes are like a mirage, you can’t quite reconcile what lays ahead since the terrain begins to resemble that of the Sahara desert, who would have thought you would find anything like this in Southern California. The sight is unmistakable; miles upon miles of rolling sand dunes that would rival those anywhere else in the world! 🐪
