Ingredients
- For the Salad:
- 6 cups mixed salad greens (lettuce, spinach, arugula, etc.)
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds (toasted, optional)
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- For the Blueberry Vinaigrette:
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
How to Make
-
Step 1: Wash and dry the mixed salad greens thoroughly. Place them in a large salad bowl.
-
Step 2: Prepare the blueberry vinaigrette by combining all the vinaigrette ingredients (blueberries, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper) in a blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture is smooth and the blueberries are fully incorporated into the dressing. If you prefer a thicker dressing, you can mash the blueberries with a fork instead of using a blender.
-
Step 3: Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the sweetness or acidity to your liking by adding more honey or balsamic vinegar as needed. Set aside.
-
Step 4: Add the fresh blueberries, crumbled feta cheese, sliced almonds (if using), red onion, cucumber, and cherry tomatoes to the salad bowl with the mixed greens.
-
Step 5: Drizzle the homemade blueberry vinaigrette over the salad, starting with a few tablespoons, and toss gently to coat the salad ingredients evenly. Add more dressing if you need it, but don't overdress the salad.
