BLUEBERRY SPINACH SALAD



BLUEBERRY SPINACH SALAD image

Categories     Salad     Vegetable     No-Cook     Quick & Easy     Healthy

Yield 6 people

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 c extra virgin olive oil
1/4 c raspberry vinegar
2 Tbsp dijon mustard
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
10 oz fresh spinach, torn
4 oz. blue cheese, crumbled
1 c blueberries,washed and dried
1/2 c pecans, toasted and chopped

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.
