Ingredients You’ll Need
- 4 ripe peaches, sliced
- 2 cups arugula (or your favorite greens)
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 cup pecans, toasted
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste

How to Whip Up This Delicious Salad
Let’s dive into the step-by-step magic of crafting this Millionaire Peach Salad. It’s so simple that even your kids might want to help (or at least offer to eat the leftovers!).
- Start by washing your peaches. Once they’re nice and clean, slice them up. The more artfully you slice, the more gourmet vibes we create—fancy, huh?
- Next, grab a large bowl and toss in your arugula. Channel your inner salad bar chef as you lay those greens like a bed of summer dreams.
- Now, gently add the peach slices on top of the arugula. If you want to impress, fan them out like a peacock’s tail. 🦚
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and toasted pecans for that delightful crunch. It’s like a party in a bowl!
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and balsamic vinegar until well combined. Drizzle this sweet and tangy dressing over the salad.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, and toss it all gently so everything is coated in deliciousness. Finishing touch? A sprinkle of fresh mint leaves!
Cooking Tips that Make a Difference
Now, a few nuggets of wisdom to make this recipe even easier:
- Peaches can be a bit tricky if they’re not ripe. If you’re in a hurry, try to pick ones that give a little when you squeeze them gently.
- If you plan on making this a day before, assemble the salad without the dressing. Sprinkle the dressing just before serving to keep everything crisp.
- Not a fan of feta? Swap it out for goat cheese or even a nutty cheddar—let’s personalize this salad to your taste!
- Pecans can be swapped with walnuts or almond slivers, if that’s what you have on hand. No nut left behind!
This Millionaire Peach Salad came about after my kiddos insisted on a peach-filled summer picnic, but truth be told, it became my secret escape from kitchen chaos. It is the perfect remedy for a busy day or a simple luxury to enjoy with friends over a chilled glass of white wine. Cheers to that!
