See the Printable recipe card at the bottom of this post for quantities.
🥗🍑Salad Ingredients
Ripe Peaches — Sliced in 1/4-inch slices. Opt for juicy but firm fresh peaches. If peaches are out of season, nectarines or mangoes will also work!
- Cucumbers (thinly sliced) – We use Persian Cucumbers for their crisp crunch. Still, an English Cucumber can also do the trick.
- Avocado (cubed) – Look for a perfectly reipe avocado to get that creamy texture.
- Red Onion (thinly sliced) – Add a sharp, savory bite.
- Fresh Cilantro (chopped) – Not a fan of cilantro? No problem. Fresh mint and fresh basil leaves are equally delicious.
🍯🍋Dressing Ingredients
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil – For a smooth, flavorful base.
- Lime (juiced and zested) – You can swap with Fresh Lemon Juice, Orange Juice, or even Apple Cider Vinegar for a different tang.
- Salt and Black Pepper – for seasoning
- Honey – Adds a touch of sweetness to complement the juicy peaches and citrus. Ensure the honey is soft, or you can soften it in the microwave for 5-7 seconds.
🥣Instructions
Making this Peach Avocado Salad is a breeze. Here’s how to do it:
- In a large bowl combine the sliced peaches, thinly sliced cucumbers, ripe avocado cubes, sliced red onion, and chopped cilantro (or your choice of fresh herbs).
- Gently toss everything together to evenly distribute the ingredients.
- Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, honey, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking. Want some extra zing? Add more lime zest or an extra drizzle of honey for extra flavor.
- Toss the Salad: Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently to avoid mashing the avocado. Let it sit for a few minutes so the flavors can mingle—trust me, this step makes a difference!
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately in your favorite salad bowl and enjoy your new and delicious way to cool down on a hot summer day.
🧑🍳Recipe Variations
Want to mix it up? Here are some fun twists:
- Add some finely chopped fresh Jalapeños for a spicy twist to create a spicy peach and avocado salad.
- Add Goat Cheese for some tangy creaminess.
- Make it a green salad and turn it into a main meal: Yes! Throw in some greens. Some of our favorite greens are crisp romaine, butter lettuce, peppery arugula, and baby spinach.
- Add an extra crunch: Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds, pine nuts, crunchy almonds, or sunflower seed for added texture.
- For a sweeter, tangy twist, try a balsamic vinegar drizzle.
🍲Storage suggestions
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days. But keep in mind avocados tend to brown quickly, and fresh peaches can soften over time. For the best taste and texture, enjoying this salad fresh is the perfect way.
There you have it—your Perfect Summer Salad to beat the heat. This Avocado Peach Salad Recipe is as versatile as it is refreshing, making it one of the best summer salad recipes.
Whether making it as a summertime salad side or just a light meal, you’ll love the combination of creamy avocado, sweet peaches and the zing of lime in this recipe.
