Mixed greens, strawberries, peaches, blueberries, feta, red onion and pecans combine to create a delicious, colorful, summer fruit medley green salad!
I love salads during the HOT Summertime! They are light, cold, and taste yummy when it is too hot outside to want a heavy dinner.
A few nights ago, I made this delicious Summer Fruit Medley Green Salad. It was so good, I’m making it again tonight, because we can and because it is still HOT!
Summer and fresh picked fruit just really seem to go together! Juicy sweet fruits, like blueberries, strawberries, and fresh peaches taste absolutely amazing when you pair them up in a savory salad.

Fresh Fruit Makes This Salad The Best!
The day I made this salad the first time, I had just picked fresh peaches at a local U-Pick Farm, and they were begging to be used while fresh and RIPE!
I also had fresh blueberries, strawberries and mixed greens right in my little backyard raised bed garden! They were nice and RIPE! How could I NOT use them in something yummy?!!!
The fruit medley green salad comes together in a FLASH! In about 10 minutes, I had all the ingredients in a serving bowl. We think the salad tastes best when the lettuce is very cold, so you may want to chill the salad greens before serving.
A summer fruit medley green salad sure looks pretty with all the colorful fresh fruit, feta cheese, red onions, Romaine lettuce, mixed greens and pecan pieces!
Make The Salad Dressing
To dress the salad, you will make a super quick balsamic vinegar and olive oil salad dressing. It only involves mixing and takes all of about 30 seconds to make.
Drizzle the salad dressing over the salad and BOOM! You’ve just made a fabulous tasting salad. Love at first bite! Now it’s time to serve the salad.
Serve The Summer Fruit Medley Green Salad
We usually serve the summer fruit medley green salad with slices of rotisserie chicken on the side, and they complement each other very well.
The sweetness of the fresh ripe fruit, paired with the slight saltiness of feta cheese, and the crunch of the crisp lettuce and pecans makes this ONE GREAT TASTING SALAD!
I hope you will consider making this quick, easy and scrumptious fruit medley green salad, especially when summer fruits are at their peak of delicious-ness!
Gotta go now and get our dinner ready. We’re having salmon, with this salad on the side tonight! YUM!
