Strawberry Blueberry Salad with Candied Walnuts
This vibrant summer salad features fresh berries, candied nuts, and a delicious strawberry balsamic dressing! It's so healthy, flavorful, and easy to customize.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 5 oz. mixed baby greens
- 8 oz. fresh strawberries
- 5 oz. fresh blueberries*
- 1 cup Maple-Vanilla Candied Nuts
For serving:
Variations (optional):
- Vegan feta crumbles, clementine/mandarin slices, green onions, thinly sliced red onion, avocado, raspberries, blackberries, etc.
Instructions
- Make candied nuts: Prepare the candied walnuts. (Or do this in advance and store them at room temperature until ready.)
- Make dressing: Prepare the strawberry balsamic dressing. (You can do this in advance as well and store it in the fridge until ready.)
- Prepare berries: Remove the stems from your strawberries. Then slice or chop them.
- Assemble: Place mixed greens in a small bowl or plate. Top with strawberries, blueberries, and candied nuts. Then drizzle with dressing. (Include any optional additions like vegan feta cheese crumbles, thinly sliced onion, avocado, etc.)
- Storing: If saving leftovers or preparing for later, it's best to store the salad and dressing separately in the fridge.
Notes
*Blueberries: 5 ounces equals about 1 cup. (This is a forgiving recipe - use more or less berries and ingredients to your preference.)
Quicker prep: If making the candied walnuts ahead of time, this salad only takes about 10 minutes (or less) to prepare.
Estimated nutritional content: This is calculated without the dressing or optional additions.
