Over the summer my sister’s family stayed with us for several days. During their visit my sister introduced us to this delicious spinach and berry salad. It tastes as good as it looks, and I just had to share it with you!
(And you know what tastes good with salad, a yummy muffin, because muffins are always good!)
Ingredients for the spinach berry salad:
- Romaine lettuce
- Raw spinach
- Raspberries
- Blueberries
- Blackberries
- Strawberries
- Feta Cheese
- Poppy seed dressing
Building your healthy berry salad:
To build your salad, first fill the bottom of a large bowl with clean romaine lettuce pieces. On top of this you will add the raw spinach, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, and feta cheese. (I love how my sister placed them in separate groups — making it a visual feast for the eyes before the salad even hits your plate!)
Poppy seed dressing is the perfect complement to this salad.
If you want a little crunch, you could add sesame seeds. (My sister’s family usually adds walnuts, but we have nut allergies in our household and opted to stick with just the berries and greens.)
This salad pairs well with a variety of things, but I like it particularly with a chicken dish.
Bon appetit!
