Ingredients

  • 4 cups mixed salad greens (such as arugula, spinach, and kale)
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
  • 1/4 cup toasted almonds, sliced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Мethod of preparation

1. **Prepare the Dressing**: In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined. Set aside. 2. **Assemble the Salad Base**: Place the mixed salad greens in a large bowl. Arrange the sliced strawberries, blueberries, red onion, and toasted almonds on top of the greens. 3. **Add the Goat Cheese**: Crumble the goat cheese over the salad, distributing it evenly. The creamy texture of the cheese balances perfectly with the crunch of the almonds and the juiciness of the berries. 4. **Dress the Salad**: Just before serving, drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the salad. Toss gently to mix, ensuring all ingredients are well coated with the dressing. 5. **Final Touches**: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh and vibrant flavors. This Berry & Goat Cheese Delight is best enjoyed fresh. If you’re preparing it in advance, keep the dressing separate and add it just before serving to prevent the greens from wilting. Pair this salad with a light white wine or a chilled rosé for an even more delightful experience.
