How to Make a Blueberry and Peach Salad
- Produce Prep
First, grill your peaches. To save time, I like to used leftover grilled peaches, or make them ahead of time. While the peaches are grilling I like to wash my spinach, arugula, and blueberries. - Combining the Salad
Once your peaches are grilled and fresh produce washed you can toss everything together in a large bowl. I just pile it all in and toss it with salad tossers. Alternatively, you could leave all of the ingredients separate and let everyone build their own salad. - Finishing Touches
Finally, top the peach and blueberry salad with blueberry dressing or salad dressing of choice.
Leftover Storage
For best salad leftovers I like to store all of the ingredients separately in airtight containers and then assemble when I am ready to eat or serve. When stored this way the salad will save for up to 3 days in the fridge. Alternatively, you can store the salad tossed with the dressing in and airtight container for up to 24 hours.
