Simple Peach Feta Salad
This quick + simple, 25-minute peach feta salad recipe is made with cherry tomatoes, shallots, fresh basil, and mint. The flavours are a perfect marriage of sweet, juicy, salty, and acidic – every bite tastes just like summer!
One look at this beautiful peach and feta salad and you just *know* it’s going to taste like summer in a bowl. Juicy, seasonal peaches and sweet cherry tomatoes pair SO well with salty feta, refreshing herbs, and the crunch and kick of shallots.
It’s perfect for wowing your guests at your next al fresco dinner party, or enjoying with your family on a summer evening. For a simple, protein pairing to round out your meal – may I suggest serving this with my almond crusted salmon or this popular baked shrimp recipe?
Featured Review
This is exactly the flavor I was craving without even knowing it – and it’s a perfect way to use up so much of my summer produce! Thank you for sharing this!

Here’s a look at the ingredients:
A couple ingredient notes:
- Peaches: Please use fresh, ripe, juicy peaches for this recipe. If your peaches aren’t ripe enough, they won’t provide enough flavour and sweetness. I went for yellow peaches, but you are welcome to use white ones. Feel free to also swap for nectarines – both will work amazingly. TIP: be sure to purchase peaches well enough in advance of making this recipe so that they have time to ripen!!
- Cherry tomatoes: I used local, vine-ripened cherry tomatoes for this recipe as they have so much flavour and sweetness. If needed, you could also make this salad with grape tomatoes or sliced heirloom tomatoes.
Full ingredient measurements and detailed instructions are located in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post!

Get the Recipe: Peach Feta Salad With Tomatoes (25-Minutes)
Ingredients
- 3 large peaches, pits removed + cut into 6-8 wedges per fruit (or nectarines – make sure they're ripe!)
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
- Half a small shallot, peeled + sliced thinly
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- Approx. 10 large leaves fresh basil, chopped
- Approx. 10 large leaves fresh mint, chopped
Salad dressing:
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1/2 a lemon, juice
- 1 tsp honey
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt + pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Add all salad dressing ingredients to a small bowl OR a glass jar with a lid. Whisk or shake together until well-combined. Set aside.
- Add sliced peaches, cherry tomatoes, shallots, feta, basil, and mint to a large bowl.
- Pour dressing overtop of salad and toss ingredients until coated in the dressing. Season with salt + pepper, as desired.
- You may serve the salad immediately, or allow it to chill in the fridge for 30 minutes. Enjoy!
Notes
- While best enjoyed fresh, leftovers will keep for up to one day in the fridge.
- If you’d like to make this recipe in advance, you may prep the salad dressing and all the ingredients the day before. Store them in the fridge separately, until ready to serve.
- As mentioned, this recipe also tastes great chilled if you want to prep it about 30 minutes before serving!
- You may use ripe nectarines instead of peaches – both will be delicious
- You may use white wine vinegar in place of red wine vinegar
- You may use freshly minced garlic cloves in place of garlic powder. I’d aim for about 2 large cloves.
- If you are dairy-free/vegan, feel free to use a dairy-free feta alternative
- While I have not tried them together, you could likely swap the shallot with a red onion (although I do find onions to have a stronger flavour)!

Do you print calories with this and other recipes— or did I miss it?
Hi Donna! I’ve started to included nutrition information on newer recipes – it’s located at the bottom of the recipe card in a drop down (“show nutrition info”). I just added it for you on this salad recipe – the numbers are per serving 🙂
That said, I have yet to add it to all 450+ recipes on my website, but if there’s a recipe you’re interested in you can use an online nutrition calculator to get an estimate. I find this one really easy – just copy + paste the URL!

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, Marilyn 🙂
Made this recipe pretty much as written but I tossed in a few orange slices, and, substituted red onion instead of shallot and maple syrup instead of honey; it was so delicious I ate the whole lot in one sitting. It was the perfect summer meal.
Thank you so much for the kind review, Lyn!! I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed this salad. Love the addition of oranges – yum!!
