Ingredients

  • 6-8 cups baby spinach leaves
  • 1 - 1 ½ cups berries of choice (I used ⅓ cup each blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries - strawberries are great too)
  • ¼ red onion thinly sliced into rings
  • ⅓ cup Blue cheese crumbles (OR feta cheese crumbles)
  • ⅓ cup pistachios shelled
Dressing
  • ¾ cup fresh or frozen berries of choice (I used a combination of blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries)
  • ⅔ cup extra virgin olive oil (or vegetable oil)
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1-2 tablespoons honey
  • ¼ cup cold water

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. To make the dressing, pulse all ingredients in a blender or food processor until smooth. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
  2. When ready to serve the salad, in a large bowl toss together spinach, berries, red onions, cheese crumbles, and pistachios. Serve with prepared dressing.

Notes

  • Add grilled chicken to turn this into a hearty main-dish salad for two!
  • Store extra dressing in the fridge up to three days.
