Peach season may be winding down, but this salad proves that stone fruit deserves a place on your table well past the height of summer. Juicy peaches bring brightness and a subtle sweetness that pairs beautifully with creamy avocado, protein-packed chickpeas, and soft mozzarella pearls. A drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar ties everything together with tang and richness, while fresh basil adds a fragrant finish.
This dish is more than just colorful—it’s satisfying and balanced. Chickpeas provide plant-based protein and fiber, avocado delivers healthy fats, and peaches and red onion offer antioxidants and crunch. Light enough to serve as a side but hearty enough for lunch, this recipe transforms with the addition of Social Kitchens Sweet & Spicy Shrimp. The shrimp’s bold, zesty flavor contrasts with the cool, creamy salad for a complete meal in under 30 minutes.
Make it your own by swapping mozzarella for feta or burrata, adding arugula for a peppery kick, or tossing in toasted nuts for extra crunch. Whether you’re entertaining or meal-prepping, this salad is a fresh, flavorful reminder that produce-driven meals never go out of season.
