Berry Salad with Strawberry Balsamic Vinaigrette


I love fruit! Not usually on salads, but this salad just sounded so good! It is a perfect summer salad to have when all of the berries are in season!

In order to make it you will need:
  • 3-4 cups of ROMAINE LETTUCE 
  • 1/2 cup fresh BLUEBERRIES
  • 1/2 cup fresh STRAWBERRIES, sliced
  • 1 oz. crumbled FETA CHEESE
  • 1 Tbs SALAD DRESSING
Make sure to rinse all of the ingredients to remove any dirt, toss together in a bowl, add the dressing, and serve! I made a strawberry balsamic vinaigrette, but a poppy seed dressing, or simply a balsamic vinaigrette would also be good!

To make the Strawberry Balsamic Vinaigrette you will need:
  • 1 cup fresh STRAWBERRIES
  • 2 Tbs OLIVE OIL
  • 2 Tbs BALSAMIC VINEGAR
  • 1/2 tsp SALT
  • 1/4 tsp PEPPER
  • 1 tsp HONEY
I simply threw all of the ingredients into my food processor and blended until smooth! Simple as that!
