Summer is the perfect time to enjoy fresh, seasonal fruits and vegetables. This fig and cheese and peach salad recipe is a great way to take advantage of local produce and create a delicious and nutritious meal. Not only is this salad full of flavor, but it’s also packed with nutrients that can help keep you healthy.

The stars of this salad are the figs and peaches, which are both in season during the summer months. Figs are a great source of dietary fiber, which helps promote digestive health, and their high concentration of minerals such as magnesium and potassium can help reduce blood pressure. Peaches, on the other hand, are full of antioxidants and Vitamin C, which can help boost your immune system.

To make this salad, start by combining fresh figs and peaches with crumbled feta cheese and toasted walnuts. The feta cheese adds a creamy and salty element to the salad, and the walnuts provide a crunchy texture. Then, mix together a simple dressing of olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, honey, and salt and pepper. Toss the salad with the dressing and let it sit to let the flavors meld. Once the salad is dressed, it finish it off with a sprinkle of fresh basil and a drizzle of honey. Enjoy it as a light meal or side dish and savor the taste of summer!
