Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop Eating This Salad!
Peaches have always been my favorite fruit, so when peach season hits, I go a little overboard in the best way.
Peach lemonade, peach cobbler, grilled peaches, peach pie…I’m all in.
So it only felt right to finally share my go-to fruit combo for the ultimate summer salad. This peach fruit salad has it all: crunch, sweetness, and a little tang. It’s everything I crave on a hot summer day!
Peach Fruit Salad Ingredients
| Star Ingredient | Quick Swap or Tip |
|---|---|
| Peaches | Not a fan of peach fuzz? Peel them first or swap in nectarines or diced mango. |
| Strawberries | Sub in raspberries or extra blueberries/blackberries if strawberries aren’t looking good. |
| Blueberries & Blackberries | Prefer something different? Try halved grapes or pitted cherries. |
| Fresh Mint (optional) | Swap with thin-sliced basil or skip it if you prefer. |
Quick Tip
Ripe peaches make the best Peach Fruit Salad: Look for deep golden skin, a sweet smell, and a slight give when gently squeezed. Avoid green spots or firm fruit.

Serve Peach Fruit Salad With:
Peach Fruit Salad
Equipment
- Wide-mouth Mason Jar
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 to 2 clementines (1/2 tsp zest; 1 tbsp juice)
- 1 large lemon (1/2 tsp zest; 1 tbsp juice)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
- 16 ounces fresh strawberries hulled and thinly sliced, 2 cups
- 6 ounces fresh blueberries 1 cup
- 6 ounces fresh blackberries 1 cup
- 2 ripe peaches pit removed and thinly sliced, 2 cups
- 8-10 fresh mint leaves or fresh basil, optional
Instructions
- Add all the dressing ingredients to a mason jar. Shake well to combine, then stir if the honey settles.
- Wash and dry all the fruit thoroughly (excess moisture prevents the dressing from sticking). Hull and thinly slice strawberries. Peel the peaches if desired (I usually don’t), then thinly slice.
- (Optional): For best flavor, chill the (undressed) fruit in the fridge before serving.
- Add all the fruit to a large bowl. Drizzle the dressing over top, using as much or as little as you’d like. Gently toss to coat.
- Very thinly slice or tear the fresh mint or basil. Sprinkle on top, if using, and serve right away.

Peach Fruit Salad Tips
- Cut fruit into similar sizes: Makes the salad look nicer and is easier to eat.
- Keep fruit amounts balanced: So one fruit doesn’t overpower the rest.
- Wash and dry fruit well: Prevents a watery salad and helps the dressing stick.
- Check fruit carefully: Remove blueberry stems and any bruised spots or skins if needed.
Variations

Quick Tip
If the fruit doesn’t last as long as you’d like and starts to get soft, blend it into a delicious smoothie! This mango smoothie is our favorite and calls for strawberries and peaches!
