Triple Berry Almond Spinach Salad
Get ready to shake up your summer cookout with this sweet, colorful and oh-so-sassy easy-to-make bright berry salad!
Ingredients
- 6 cups fresh baby spinach or whatever green leaf lettuce you prefer
- 1 cup sliced fresh organic strawberries slice vertically down the center and then each half, in half horizontally
- 1/2 cup fresh organic blueberries
- 1/2 cup fresh organic blackberries halved if they are really large
- 1 large avocado diced
- 1/2 small red onion finely sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped almonds I used honey roasted, but feel free to use your favorite variety.
For the dressing:
- juice of one large lemon
- juice from one small lime
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon poppy seeds
Instructions
- Toss all salad ingredients together in a large salad serving bowl.
- Whisk dressing ingredients together in a small bowl or jar.
- Top salad with dressing and gently toss to coat all leaves. Enjoy immediately. If making salad ahead of time, wait to pour dressing on until just before serving.
Notes
- Add in fresh organic raspberries if you're feeling a quadruple berry salad! Or feel free to substitute another berry with raspberries.
- Feel free to use a store bought dressing. Poppyseed, balsamic vinaigrette and/or Panera Bread's Fuji Apple Vinaigrette Dressing would all make tasty choices.
