This peach and avocado salad is perfect for summer. It comes together in a pinch and it is very easy to make. But the best thing about this vegan salad is that everyone in your family will love it.
Probably the combination of peach and avocado does not sound like the most appealing thing but stay with me, let me tell you more about this salad.
It is very easy to make, it is perfect for summer and days with warm weather. I made this salad with peach but you could also make it with nectarines or even apricots.
How to make peach and avocado summer salad?
Look the only thing you have to do is make the vinaigrette, cut the peaches and avocados and you’re done.
For the greens, you can use whatever you want or have on hand. I love using spinach or a mix of greens. But this salad will be perfect with kale or any other green you like.
How to make the dressing
This is one of my favorite dressings ever, and it only has four ingredients. Yes, four, and you just add them to a jar, close tightly, shake the jar vigorously, and done. Here is the list of ingredients:
- OLIVE OIL
- CHOPPED SHALLOTS
- RED WINE VINEGAR
- MAPLE SYRUP
Well, it has salt also, but that doesn’t count right?
I like to finish off all of my salads with something delicious and crunchy on top. Sometimes I add nuts, other times seeds, or maybe even croutons, which I love. I finished the summer salad with hemp seeds.
Have you tried them?
They are delicious and packed with good plant-based proteins. I love to eat them on salads, in my smoothies and sometimes I add them to my homemade granola.

I put peaches in so many things when they’re ripe here in Georgia. I”ve not tried a recipe like this though but I’d love it, I can tell already. It sounds like the perfect summer lunch recipe.
I love adding the sweet summer stone fruits to a summer salad and adding the acid from the vinagrette really enhances the flavor of the fruit. Sounds like a great salad, one I will be making for my family. Thank you, am always looking for new flavors.
