Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 6 cups mixed salad greens (arugula, spinach, spring mix)
  • 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
  • 1/3 cup sliced almonds (toasted)
  • 1/4 cup red onion (thinly sliced)
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Toast the almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for three to four minutes until fragrant and golden.
  2. Prepare the dressing by whisking together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Wash and thoroughly dry your salad greens. Place the greens in a large serving bowl.
  4. Add the fresh blueberries, sliced red onion, and torn basil leaves to the greens. Gently toss everything together.
  5. Drizzle half the dressing over the blueberry salad and toss gently to coat.
  6. Top with crumbled goat cheese and toasted almonds. Serve immediately.

Notes

Always dress your salad right before serving to prevent sogginess. Store components separately if preparing ahead.
