Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ripe peaches (pitted and sliced)
- 1 cup arugula or mixed greens
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves (torn)

- 1/4 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
- 1/2 cup walnuts (toasted and chopped)
- 1/4 cup balsamic glaze (for drizzling)
- Salt to taste

Instructions
- Wash the peaches thoroughly under cool running water, then cut them in half and remove the pits. Slice them into wedges.
- In a large salad bowl, combine the sliced peaches, halved mozzarella balls, and arugula or mixed greens.
- Add the toasted walnuts, crumbled feta cheese, and torn basil leaves to the bowl.
- Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the salad mixture and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes
Choose ripe but firm peaches for the best texture. The salad can be prepped ahead by slicing peaches and toasting nuts but combine and dress it shortly before serving.
