Peach, Avocado, and Blackberry Salad

Peach, Avocado, and Blackberry Salad is guaranteed to up your summer side dish game! Dressed with the most delicious honey lime vinaigrette, and full of yummy textures and flavors. A perfect companion to anything off the grill, or just when you want something cooler for lunch or dinner. 

SUMMER, SUMMER, SUMMMMMMMERRRRRR!!!! This beautiful salad just screams summer, and I am totally happy about it. It contains all of those things we crave in these hot months:

1. Fresh in season fruit
2. crunchy greens
3. deliciously fresh herbs
4. Honey Lime Vinaigrette??? Now you know realize you totally need this for your summer fare.

Let’s get another close-up look at this bowl of vibrant goodness!

Eating this flavorful salad made me realize I overlook the many uses of summer fruit. During the year, I am not a huge fruit person and prefer to nosh on all the veggies. But when it’s hot as can be, the thought of filling my belly and mouth with refreshing fruits is all I can think of.

Pairing some juicy peaches with avocado might be my new favorite thing. I added in the slightly sour blackberry to give it a nice balance, and was instantly hooked on this salad!!

Some other fun elements of this vibrant salad: red chili flakes to give a little kick, soft avocado slices that provide a smooth and yummy texture to the fruit, pine nuts, and fresh mint leaves. The honey lime vinaigrette is made by whisking together a few simple ingredients. The lime gives the salad a zesty citrus kick, and the honey enhances all the fruit and avocado slices!

I’ve currently been enjoying this combo all week for lunch, but it also works perfectly paired with lean protein source like grilled chicken or salmon. Such an easy and light weeknight meal!
