Categories     HarperCollins     Salad     Berry     Spring     Radish     Carrot     Hazelnut     Spinach     Healthy     Quick and Healthy     Wheat/Gluten-Free

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/3 cup hazelnuts
1/4 cup extra-­virgin olive oil
Juice and finely grated zest of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons plain kefir
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 pound salad greens, such as mesclun, baby kale, or spinach
4 carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
2 cups radishes, trimmed and thinly sliced
1 pint berries such as raspberries or blueberries

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven or toaster oven to 350°F.
  • Spread out the hazelnuts in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast in the oven until the skins split and the nuts turn a deep golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. While still hot, rub the hazelnuts in a clean kitchen towel to remove the skins (some bits of skin will remain). Cool for 5 minutes, then chop.
  • Combine the oil, lemon zest and lemon juice, kefir, honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Divide the salad greens among four plates. Top with the carrots, radishes, and berries and drizzle with the dressing. Garnish with the chopped hazelnuts and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh spinach, berries, and nuts will give your salad the best flavor and texture.
  • Choose a variety of berries: Different berries have different flavors and textures, so using a variety will add interest to your salad.
  • Toast the nuts: Toasting the nuts will help to bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
  • Use a light dressing: A light vinaigrette or yogurt dressing will help to keep the salad from getting too heavy.
  • Serve the salad immediately: Spinach and berries are best when they are fresh, so serve the salad as soon as you make it.

Conclusion:

This spinach berry salad is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy fresh produce. It is packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, and it is also a good source of fiber. The salad is light and refreshing, and it is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. If you are looking for a healthy and delicious salad recipe that you can make in just a few minutes, this spinach berry salad is the perfect choice.
