Steps:
- To prepare the sunflower seeds, warm a small non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the sunflower seeds. Let the sunflower seeds warm up a bit, then pour in the maple syrup, a pinch of salt and a tiny dash of cayenne pepper, if desired. Toast the seeds while stirring constantly until most of the maple syrup has evaporated and the sunflower seeds are turning lightly golden on the edges, about 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the seeds to a plate to cool.
- In a serving bowl, combine the spinach, berries, crumbled goat cheese and sunflower seeds. In a small measuring cup or bowl, whisk together the vinaigrette ingredients until emulsified.
- Just before serving, drizzle in enough vinaigrette to lightly coat the leaves (you might have leftover dressing) and gently toss (careful with those delicate raspberries!). Serve immediately.

- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Add the walnuts and stir to coat. Raise the heat to medium, add the sugar and cook until the sugar is dissolved and caramelized, stirring often, about 5 minutes.

Tips:
- Use fresh berries for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh berries, frozen berries will work as well.
- If you don't have spinach on hand, you can use another type of leafy green, such as arugula or kale.
- To make the dressing, you can use either white vinegar or lemon juice. If you use lemon juice, you may want to add a little bit of honey or sugar to balance out the tartness.
- If you're looking for a more substantial salad, you can add some grilled chicken or fish. You can also add some nuts or seeds for a bit of crunch.
- Serve the salad immediately after dressing it. The berries will start to break down if they sit in the dressing for too long.
Conclusion:
This four-berry spinach salad is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy fresh berries. It's perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it's also a great way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables. With its sweet berries, tangy dressing, and crunchy spinach, this salad is sure to please everyone at your table.
