Tips:
- Choose fresh, ripe ingredients: Fresh spinach, raspberries, and walnuts will give your salad the best flavor and texture.
- Use a light dressing: A simple vinaigrette or lemon-tahini dressing will allow the flavors of the salad to shine through.
- Don't overdress the salad: A little dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing will weigh down the salad and make it soggy.
- Serve the salad immediately: Spinach and raspberries are best enjoyed fresh. If you need to make the salad ahead of time, store the dressing and salad separately and combine them just before serving.

This spinach raspberry salad is a delicious and refreshing way to enjoy fresh summer produce. It's perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it's also a great side dish for grilled chicken or fish. The combination of sweet raspberries, tangy goat cheese, crunchy walnuts, and creamy avocado is sure to please everyone at your table.
