Summer Mixed Green Salad

Prep: 10 min

Ready: 15 min

Servings 2-4

I can’t believe how fast this summer is going! The weeks are just flying by! We have been busy and have been doing a little traveling but not too far – mostly stay-cations and heading to the cottage when we can. We have been trying to social distance and have had some small picnics in our backyard. It has been crazy with this virus. It has limited our exposure to friends and family, but we are playing it safe. I hope a vaccine is around the corner so we can all get back to our daily lives.

We have a friend who made a delicious salad similar to this one (thanks Laura G!) so I thought I would give it a try. I used freshly picked blueberries. The combination of fresh greens, blueberries, raspberries, walnuts (you could easily substitute pecans), goat cheese, and red onion was delicious. I added a light raspberry vinaigrette with poppy-seeds and then sprinkled a bit of freshly ground pepper and sea salt on top.

I hope your summer is going well and you are staying safe but having fun!
