Balsamic Dressing Recipe (click here to get the recipe for the dressing)
Instructions
- Clean and roughly chop or break the lettuce into smaller pieces.
- Put the lettuce in a medium bowl.
- You can choose to leave the skin on the peaches if you desire. I chose to peel them because my kids do not like them.
- Slice the peaches and add them to the lettuce.
- Add the blueberries, sprinkle the bacon bits and feta cheese on top.
Make Balsamic Dressing
- Mix the salad together and drizzle the dressing over the entire salad or allow people to pour their preferred amount on their individual salads.
- Eat immediately. The peaches will only stay good for a certain amount of time before they start to brown. I would recommend making this right before serving.
- It takes no time to make and the dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge.
- You can add grilled chicken to this salad for a full nutritional meal.
