Ingredients

  • - Spinach: 4 cups about 250g
  • - Strawberries: 1 cup sliced (150g)
  • - Blueberries: 1 cup 150g
  • - Raspberries: 1 cup 150g
  • - Blackberries: 1 cup 150g
  • - Feta cheese: ½ cup crumbled (100g)
  • - Walnuts: ¼ cup chopped (30g)
  • - Olive oil: 2 tbsp 30ml
  • - Balsamic vinegar: 1 tbsp 15ml
  • - Honey: 1 tbsp 15ml
  • - Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Begin by washing all your fruits and the spinach under cold water to ensure they're fresh and free of any residue.
  • Lay the spinach as a bed in your serving bowl.
  • Strategically place the strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries over the spinach, ensuring a good mix and even distribution.
  • Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the salad.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper to create your dressing.
  • Drizzle this dressing generously over your Mixed Berry and Spinach Salad.
  • Finish with a sprinkle of chopped walnuts on top for that added crunch.

Notes

1. When picking berries, look for those that are firm, plump, and without blemishes for the best results.
2. If you're not a fan of feta, you can replace it with goat cheese or leave it out altogether.
3. For an added touch of zing, you can include a squeeze of fresh lemon in your dressing.
4. Always dress your Mixed Berry and Spinach Salad right before serving to keep the spinach fresh and avoid it becoming soggy.
