Description

This spinach salad is packed with the best of berry season and is so easy to make too!


Ingredients

Scale

Berry Vinaigrette:

2 Tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

1/2 Teaspoon sea salt

1 Teaspoon Dijon mustard

1/3 cup sliced strawberries, 3-4

1/3 cup avocado oil

1 Tablespoon chia seeds

Salad Ingredients:

12 cups baby spinach, or mixed greens, arugula, or chopped romaine

1 pound total berries of choice, 4 cups, I used 2 cups strawberries and 1 cup each blueberries & raspberries

1 pound boneless skinless chicken, grilled and sliced or diced, 2 breasts or 4 thighs

1/2 cup toasted pumpkin seeds

1 ripe avocado, sliced or diced

Optional: 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onion, and or chopped/slivered basil


Instructions

For the dressing, place the lemon juice, sea salt, mustard, and strawberries into the blender. Blend until smooth. Then with the blender running at low speeds, (3-4 on a Vitamix) add the oil slowly in a thin steady stream until all the oil is added and the dressing is emulsified. Transfer to a container/or jar. Then stir the chia seeds in by hand and let sit to thicken about 10 minutes.

While the dressing sits, place the spinach in a large serving bowl. Then top with the grilled chicken, berries, pumpkin seeds, and avocado.

Serve the salad and dressing together, or toss to combine before serving.
