  • 2 peaches, chopped
  • 1/2 cup red onion, sliced thin
  • 1/3 cup pepitas (pumpkin seeds), toasted
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

  • 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1/4 tsp coarse salt
  • pinch ground pepper

Instructions

  1. To make the toasted pepitas, add pepitas to a small frying pan and toast on medium-low for about 4-5 minutes until they start to brown. Remove from the heat and set aside.

  2. Mix all the dressing ingredients together with a whisk or shake in a mason jar.

  3. To prepare the salad, remove the tough stems from the kale and tear or chop into bite-sized pieces. Place in a large salad bowl and pour half of the dressing over; mix together.

  4. Add the remaining ingredients of chopped peaches, thinly sliced red onion, toasted pepitas and feta cheese. Then, add the rest of the dressing and mix gently to combine. Serves 4 smaller salad or 2 larger portions.

The best part is this salad is super versatile so you can mix and match other ingredients that you have on hand if need be.

Helpful tips for making this salad

Switch up the fruit: If you don’t have peaches on hand, try nectarines. Nectarines have a similar taste profile as peaches.

Honey Substitute: If you don’t want to use honey, try making the dressing with maple syrup.

Try chopped nuts: Instead of the toasted pepitas try toasted almonds or walnuts.
