Superfood Salad combines so many powerful antioxidants and nutrients, and is dressed up with a Blueberry Vinaigrette! This spring salad is sure to please a crowd or makes a delicious side dish or lunch.
I mean……..YUM!!!!!! This is how I’ve been celebrating our spring-like temperatures. It’s been in the 70’s for the last week, which is certainly unusual and welcomed!! Coming from this winter-loving girl, I still love when the temperature gets warmer because I can start eating some of my favorite produce. This is my long winded way of saying: HAPPY BERRY SEASON!!!! I am not a fruit gal, but berries are my favorite. I especially go nuts with them in my salad:
With all of the yucky illness floating around, I figured a superfood antioxidant boost is just what we all need. I like to think of this bowl of goodness as my medicine. Feeling a cold or some ickiness going on? Grab a bowl of this!! You’ll also love the way the Blueberry Lemon Vinaigrette adds so much depth and tangy fruity flavor.
I’ve combined so many delicious superfoods: arugula, raspberries, avocados, walnuts, blueberries, and red onion. So much fruity lightness with a delicious texture of crunchy walnuts and avocado. This salad is easy customizable too: make a it a complete meal by adding in your favorite source of protein, or toss in some more vegetables. You can also switch up the greens. Arugula is my absolute FAVE, but spinach or kale would also be a great addition.
Recipe is also Vegan, Paleo, and Whole30 approved!! Happy warm weather everyone! So many delicious foods to enjoy 🙂
