While hiking recently, I heard about a delicious summery salad from a very popular local restaurant here in Santa Barbara. Instead of going to this restaurant and trying it, I decided to create one of my own in the comfort of my own tie-dye apron! I’m very grateful for the inspiration, so thank you, popular local restaurant and my new hiking friend!

Without any further ado:

Ingredients for the salad:

1 cucumber

1.5 white peaches (maybe 2 if they’re small)

10 fresh basil leaves

1/4 cup feta cheese

For the dressing:

1 tbsp fresh orange juice

1 tbsp fresh lime juice

1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp white wine vinegar

1 tsp dijon mustard

Directions: they’re very complex this time, try to keep up…

1. Cut the cucumber and peaches into small pieces and mix them together in a bowl. Chop up the basil and add it with the feta cheese.

2. Combine dressing ingredients together and pour them alllllll over the salad. Mix well.

3. Eat!

Voila. You did it! Enjoy!
