Can I use canned peaches for this salad?

While fresh peaches bring a unique flavor, you can use canned peaches in a pinch. However, ensure they are packed in juice or water, not syrup, for a lighter taste. Drain them well before grilling to avoid excess moisture.

How can I make this salad vegan?

To make Grilled Peach and Blueberry Salad vegan, simply omit the feta cheese. You can add avocado for creaminess or swap it with a nut-based cheese alternative to add that creamy texture to the dish.

What can I use if I don't have balsamic vinaigrette?

If you're out of balsamic vinaigrette, a light lemon-olive oil dressing or a simple apple cider vinegar dressing can be great alternatives. Just whisk together olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper for a fresh dressing.

Can I prepare this salad ahead of time?

While you can prep the ingredients ahead of time, it's best not to assemble the salad until you are ready to serve. This keeps the greens crisp and fresh, preventing them from wilting.

What fruits can I add to this salad?

This salad is very versatile. Besides peaches and blueberries, you can add strawberries, nectarines, or even grapes for a different flavor profile. Experiment with seasonal fruits for the best taste.
