Persian or English cucumbers sliced
Feta cheese crumbled
Fresh lemon juice
Dijon mustard
Olive oil
Fresh basil chopped
Black pepper
Instructions
1. Combine blueberries, diced peaches, sliced cucumbers, and feta in a large bowl
2. Mix lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, basil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth
3. Pour the dressing over the salad
4. Toss gently to avoid crushing the fruit
5. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed
6. Garnish with extra basil and serve immediately or chill before serving
Notes
For a vegan option, skip feta and use maple syrup instead of honey
Prepare fruit and dressing ahead, but add feta and basil last
Use block feta for better flavor and texture
Fresh lemon juice gives the best taste
Best served fresh, but can be stored for 1 to 2 days in the fridge
