This peach, blackberry and fresh fig salad with grilled chicken, almonds and feta is the perfect summer salad! Bring to your next potluck or next time you host a summer dinner with friends.
I always get so excited for fig season, don’t you? If you are a fig-lover I have a whole round up of fig recipes and today I’m excited to share one of my own recipes- this peach, blackberry and fresh fig salad with grilled chicken. It is super fresh, easy to put together and delicious! I used butter lettuce (a personal fave!) but you could really use whatever greens you want- arugula or baby greens would also be great choices. To top off this fresh, perfect-for-summer salad I added silvered almonds (these ones from Trader Joes) and feta cheese, but goat cheese would also be wonderful.
For the salad dressing I recommend using your favorite simple vinaigrette, store bought or homemade. My go-to salad dressing lately is to combine equal parts of this basil olive oil with this blackberry vinegar. Simple and so delicious I pretty much want to drink it plain.
This Peach, Blackberry and Fresh Fig Salad with Grilled Chicken would be perfect to bring to your next outdoor potluck, works as a perfect simple dinner meal or could even be made ahead as a lunch meal to take to work if you keep the recipe on the side. I hope you enjoy this salad as much as I did!
