This summer salad uses some of my favorite fruits. A few of my other favorite easy summer fruit salads are Grilled Peach and Watermelon Burrata Salad, Berry Salad with Almond – Cranberry Crusted Goat Cheese, and Prosciutto Mozzarella and Fig Salad with Arugula.

While I hate to think of summer as having an expiration date, the fact
that it’s coming close to the end has me savoring every last moment. I’m a little excited about the change of seasons, but I always mourn the end of summer. So I’m trying to enjoy every last bit of summer’s bounty.

  1. This was so easy and perfect for a hot summer day. I served it with some leftover corn muffins from a Weight Watchers recipe.

  3. Loved this salad! Delicious and easy to make. My family loves goat cheese so this dressing was a hit. I added cooked quinoa to the salad for something a little extra. I love your recipes and that they are Weight Watcher friendly. Thank you! 

  4. Has anyone tried grilling the fruit in advance, and chilling it? I am bringing this to a party on Sunday, and I'd rather not ask to use the hostess' grill or stove (grill pan) if it'll still turn out okay when pre-grilled! Thanks for another beautiful post, Gina!

  5. I made this salad for dinner tonight, and it was so simple yet so tasty! Love the dressing. I have enough dressing & greens to make it again tomorrow night, I can't wait! 🙂 Thanks for sharing a fantastic recipe!

    This was amazing! Loved it and so did my husband. I grocery shopped at target and they were out of goat cheese. I subbed a herb cream cheese. Can't wait to make it again!

  9. This was a really good salad. Love the dressing and the grilled fruit. Will be making it again for sure.

  10. The dressing sounds delicious. The salad is beautiful. What a nice combo. I like salads with fruit in them. I must try this. Thanks!

  11. It is hard to watch summer come to an end, isn't it? This recipe truly does the freshness of summer justice!

  12. This looks amazing! I have been following your recipes for over a year and I do believe this is one of this tastiest visually appealing posts you have written. You have inspired me to start my own blog and write about things that I know about. I would love it if you stopped by sometime. By the way, my entire office liked your skinny buffalo wraps. They were amazing!

    This whole salad reminds me of my recent trip through France (went last month on a roadtrip for 2 weeks).

    They make the best salads. And nectarines, peaches and other delicious fruits were for sale next to the roads.

    In France, I ate goat cheese for the first time. When I bought goat cheese backhome, I didn't liked it at all! In France it tasted so creamy and subtle.

    Definitely will make this when I'm nostalgic 🙂

    1. I'm in Australia & I know that the 1st time I tried to buy goats' cheese I ended up buying feta which:
      'since 2002, has been a protected designation of origin product in the European Union. According to the relevant EU legislation, only those cheeses produced in a traditional way in some areas of Greece (mainland and the island of Lesbos), and made from sheep milk, or from a mixture of sheep and goat's milk (up to 30%) of the same area, may bear the name "feta" '.
      Try looking for "fromage de chèvre" – goat's milk cheese. This is the soft and smooth cheese you ate in France.

    2. I buy the Laura Chenel Select Goat Cheese from Sam's & it tastes so good! The grocery store brands I have tried tasted like gamey chalk!

      That's what I was thinking! Any tips, Gina? The past few times I've tried to grill fruit, I've failed miserably. :-/
