This peach and feta salad is the ultimate sweet and savory combination. An ode to late summer with fresh peaches, avocado, kale and more. You can use Kale or arugula for your greens in this salad. Peaches are delicious this time of year and you can eat them plain or enjoy them in several different meals. This is one of my favorite more savory dishes to enjoy peaches with.

Why Make This Peach Salad With Feta
This peach salad is a great combination of sweet, salty and savory. There are so many great textures between the quinoa, leafy kale and creamy avocado. The sweet balsamic reduction brings all the flavors together perfectly. This salad takes about 15 minutes to make and can serve as a side or main dish. I like to top it with salmon occasionally but for the most part, it’s perfect on it’s own.
If you have any leftover peaches, try my Grilled Peach And Burrata Salad next. It’s so tasty.

Step one. Cook quinoa and stem/chop kale. Add kale to bowl and chop the peaches, onions, avocado, feta and set to the side. Once quinoa is finished, let it cool a bit. Stir a lot so the heat leaves quickly and then add to chopped kale.
Step two. In a small bowl mix seasoning and add that to the quinoa and kale. Mix well. Then assemble all the other ingredients into the bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over the salad. Gently mix the salad well. Generously drizzle the balsamic glaze, over the salad. Add garnish last. Serve and enjoy!
