I couldn’t think of a better name for this summer salad with peach vinaigrette because there’s really no rhyme or reason to it other than “summer”. So summer salad actually feels like the perfect name. It also comes together quickly and is a no-bake/low-bake recipe, which are two serious necessities for the summer.
The salad starts with mixed greens and is topped with quinoa, corn, cherry tomatoes, blueberries, peaches, avocado, chicken, feta cheese, pesto chickpeas, and pepitas. Then everything is tossed with a fresh peach vinaigrette that really might be the star of the show! An entire peach is blended with a simple vinaigrette to become the yummiest dressing around.
