Peach Feta Salad has it all: juicy peaches, crunchy corn, creamy avocado, and an amazing citrus dressing that brings it all together.
Author’s Notes
Peach Please, This Salad Is A Vibe.
This Peach Feta Salad is basically my summer dream in a bowl. I threw in all my favorite things: sweet corn, juicy peaches, fresh basil. And then, I added the two ingredients I use constantly: avocado and cucumber. To top it off, I used the citrus dressing from my strawberry salad that I can’t stop making lately.
I figured I’d love it, but wow…I was not ready. I ate the entire bowl the first time. Yes, really. I’ve made it a bunch of times since, and yes, I did share (eventually).
This peach feta salad is fresh, bright, creamy, crunchy, and full of flavor. Just make sure to enjoy it the same day and use the ripest peaches you can find. I hope you get a chance to make it before summer is over!

so yummy! Why am I the only one commenting on this? It’s freshness on a plate: fresh corn, fresh peaches, fresh cucumber. The citrus dressing is wonderful I ate as a side but am looking forward to adding chicken or shrimp for a dinner.
Yay! I’m so thrilled this Peach Feta Salad has been such a hit! Thanks Kelly!
For all your dressings, do you use plain olive olive? Not EVOO? Also, I’ve never juiced a clementine. Do you use a lime juicer for those? Do you get more than a tsp or Tbsp from a clementine? This salad sounds very refreshing & I hope to make it soon. Most peaches I’ve bought recently are not ripening properly but turning mealy instead… I leave them on the counter to ripen.
I use extra virgin olive oil in all my cooking 🙂 Yes I use a lime/lemon juicer for clementines! It depends on the clementine, I can typically get 1-2.5 tbsp juice from each. Good luck with your peaches! Enjoy!
Thank you! Hope to make this salad this week!
So excited to hear what you think!
