Ingredients You’ll Need

For the salad

6–10 cups baby spring mix or chopped romaine hearts
2 white peaches or nectarines, sliced
6 ounces raspberries
1 cup feta cheese or white cheddar cheese, crumbled or cubed
3/4 cup sliced almonds
3 tablespoons sugar (for candying the almonds)

Sweet dressing

3/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3–4 tablespoons sugar (depending on how sweet you like it)
1/2 teaspoon salt

How to Make White Peach Raspberry Almond Salad

1) Build the salad base

2) Add the fruit and cheese

Top the greens with:

sliced white peaches/nectarines
raspberries
feta (or white cheddar)

Try not to snack on all the raspberries while you work. I say “try” because I’ve failed this mission many times.

3) Make the candied almonds

In a small saucepan, add sliced almonds and 3 tablespoons sugar over low heat.

As the sugar starts to melt, keep stirring so the almonds get coated and nothing burns.
Once the sugar is melted and the almonds look glossy and coated, remove from heat.

4) Mix the sweet dressing

In a small bowl or shaker bottle, combine:

olive oil
red wine vinegar
sugar
salt

Shake or whisk until the sugar is mostly dissolved. Pop it in the fridge until serving time.

5) Finish and serve

Sprinkle the candied almonds over the salad right before serving (so they stay crisp). Drizzle with the sweet dressing, toss gently, and prepare for compliments.

My Best Tips (So It Turns Out Perfect Every Time)

Cool the almonds completely. Warm candied almonds can get sticky and clump together. Patience, my friend.
Add dressing right before serving. Nobody wants sad, soggy greens—save the dressing for the last minute.

And if your almonds clump? Congratulations, you’ve made almond clusters. Call it intentional and move on like the confident kitchen wizard you are.

Easy Add-Ons and Swaps

FAQs About White Peach Raspberry Almond Salad.

Can I use yellow peaches instead of white peaches?

Yes! White peaches are a little more delicate and sweet, but yellow peaches (or nectarines) work beautifully in White Peach Raspberry Almond Salad.

What’s the best way to store leftovers?

If you think you’ll have leftovers, store the salad undressed and keep the candied almonds separate in a container at room temperature. Greens stay fresher, and almonds stay crunchy.

Can I make the dressing ahead of time?

My almonds burned—what did I do wrong?

Most likely the heat was too high or they weren’t stirred often enough. Keep it low and slow, and stir like you mean it.
