Berry Season – My Favorite Season
I think summer produce (and sunshine) are what make this my favorite time of the year! Blueberries are my favorite, and Justin’s mom has a bunch of mature blueberry bushes that yield the juiciest and most luscious blueberries! They are perfect for this spinach blueberry salad! We’ve made this with blueberries, but I have to think that you could easily substitute other berries like blackberries or raspberries and end up with a real tasty dressing! You’ll have to let us know if you give any other berries a try.
Toast The Walnuts
I know…it’s one extra step to toast the walnuts. Don’t skip this step though! It only takes a few minutes and is SOOOO worth the effort. You will love the crispy bits around the edges, and it adds an extra bit of flavor and depth to the walnuts. Plus, the aroma is kind of magical, and the walnuts will stay crispy even though you layer on all the dressing to your spinach blueberry salad!
Top It With Some Protein
You can really use your favorite protein to add a little extra heartiness to this spinach blueberry salad. We just cooked up some chicken breast when we took photos for this post, but you could use a burger patty, meatballs, etc. Pretty much whatever you have on hand, put it on top and call it good!
