Spinach Blueberry Salad with Feta

2 comments

This delicious superfood salad is one for the books. Packed with ingredients like spinach, blueberries, feta and almonds it can’t get healthier than this. Made with just 6 ingredients and a super simple dressing you wont compromise on health and flavor. This is a perfect addition to your holiday dinner table, bridal showers and high tea events.

Cheese:

If you are not a big fan of feta cheese, you may substitute it with goat cheese. I find that the creaminess of goat cheese compliments this salad equally. There are other options like ricotta or halloumi but my favorites are feta and goat cheese.

Nuts:

If you are not a fan of almonds, candied pecans, toasted walnuts or toasted cashews are great substitutes as well. I personally really enjoy the mild nutty flavor of roasted almonds.

Berries:

I love berries in general, you can substitute or add any other berry of choice. I love sliced strawberries with spinach and fresh raspberries are also great. I wouldn’t personally add blackberries though.

Extras:

If you are looking to turn this salad into a complete meal you can add a choice of protein such as farro or cooked quinoa to keep it balanced or a grilled steak of blackened salmon would kick this salad up a notch for sure. Grilled chicken or steak wouldn’t hurt either for those who love meat.

Dressing:

I honestly don’t think the dressing can get any simpler or better. The balsamic glaze along with olive add the right amount of sweetness and acidity to this salad. Otherwise a simple vinaigrette or poppy seeds dressing are also great options.
