INGREDIENTS
Berry Spinach Salad
10 cups baby spinach leaves
1/2 cup strawberries, sliced**
1/2 cup blueberries
1/2 cup raspberries
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced then quartered
1 sweet apple, chopped or thinly sliced
1 kiwi peeled, sliced and quartered (optional)
Creamy Strawberry Poppy Seed Dressing
1 5.3 oz. container strawberry yogurt
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sour cream
2 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1/2 teaspoon dry minced onion flakes (optional)
Garnishes
1/2 recipe Caramelized roasted and salted pistachios (click HERE) *
1/3 cup feta cheese crumbles
INSTRUCTIONS
Caramelize pistachios according to directions. Set aside.*
Add all of the Strawberry Poppy Seed Dressing Ingredients (EXCEPT the poppy seeds and sesame seeds) to your blender; blend until smooth. Add poppy seeds and sesame seeds and pulse until combined. For a thinner dressing, add additional milk if desired. Store in the refrigerator while you prepare salad.
Combine Spinach Salad ingredients in a large bowl and toss to combine. If serving entire salad immediately, drizzle with desired amount of dressing and toss to coat. If there might be leftovers, drizzle dressing on individual salad servings. Season with freshly ground salt and pepper to taste.
NOTES
*The Caramelized Nuts recipe is for 1 cup nuts. You can prepare 1 whole cup (because you will eat them!) or simply half all the ingredients.
**You can swap out the strawberries for raspberries to make this a winter in season salad too! source
