Ingredients:

  • 6 cups of fresh spinach leaves
  • 2 cups of ripe blackberries
  • 1/2 cup of crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup of toasted almond slices
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced

For the dressing:

  • 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon of honey
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Start by preparing your spinach leaves. Rinse them thoroughly under cold water, then pat dry using a clean towel or salad spinner. Place the spinach in a large salad bowl.
  • Next, rinse your blackberries and gently pat them dry. Scatter them over the spinach leaves.
  • Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the spinach and blackberries. This will add a creamy texture and slightly tangy flavor that perfectly complements the sweetness of the fruit.
  • Toast your almond slices in a dry pan over medium heat until they’re golden brown and fragrant. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Once toasted, sprinkle them over the salad for a bit of crunch.
  • Thinly slice your red onion and add it to the salad. The sharpness of the onion provides a nice contrast to the sweet and tangy flavors in the rest of the dish.
  • Now, let’s make the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, and honey until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Just before serving, drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine, ensuring all the ingredients are well coated.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy this vibrant, nutritious, and delicious blackberry spinach salad!

Remember, the key to a great salad is using the freshest ingredients possible. Happy eating!
