There’s nothing better than a fresh peach on a hot summer day! Earlier this week we served a fresh dinner with seasonal foods—my favorite kind of meal for summer entertaining. On the menu was this simple Avocado Peach Salad. All you need is fresh peaches and ripe avocados, and it comes together in about 10 minutes.

Of course, having our loved ones around the table was the best part of the evening. More important than good food, we enjoyed the togetherness–catching up, laughing, always a little bit of “roasting” going on. But it always helps to have beautiful summer produce on the table – like this Peaches and Avocado Salad.

How do you serve Fresh Peach and Avocado Salad?

Back to our meal last night. We served these gnocchi skewers, chicken kebabs, this salad with garden tomatoes, a fresh baguette, and this delicious Peach Avocado Salad. So easy!

We love fresh summer peaches! So much, you may have tried our Fresh Peach Salsa with Mint or Oregold Peaches Quinoa Salad – both so very good!

Tips and substitutions:

  • Once you slice the avocados on the peaches, you can refrigerate for up to 1-2 hours, but you’ll need to serve the same day as you make the salad. Avocados don’t really keep more than a day before turning brown.
  • Optional to cut the peaches and avocados into cubes (not slices).
  • You can use sliced nectarines in place of the peaches, and leave the skin on if you choose.
  • We always peel the peaches for this salad. I don’t like the peach skin.
  • Replace the lemon with lime for a zippier taste (and the zest).
  • Add fresh chopped mint or cilantro or basil on top if you want fresh herbs.
  • STORE the salad: Store the leftovers in airtight container, but it won’t be as fresh as the same day it was made. You’ll want to eat right away.
