BLUEBERRY SPINACH SALAD
Steps:
- In a jar, combine oil, vinegar, mustard, sugar and salt, shake well. In a large salad bowl, toss spinach with half of cheese, half of blueberries and half of pecans. Add enough dressing to coat and toss gently (I usually use 1/2 of the dressing). Garnish salad with remaining cheese, berries and pecans.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh blueberries and spinach are essential for the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh blueberries, you can use frozen blueberries that have been thawed and patted dry.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing can be made up to 3 days ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the salad.
- Don't overdress the salad: A little dressing goes a long way. You don't want to overwhelm the flavors of the blueberries and spinach.
- Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best enjoyed immediately after it's made. The spinach will start to wilt if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
Blueberry spinach salad is a delicious and refreshing salad that's perfect for any occasion. It's packed with antioxidants and nutrients, and it's a great way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables. With its sweet and tangy dressing, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious salad, give blueberry spinach salad a try.
