There is something so refreshing about adding fruit to a salad. I love making this dish when blueberries are at their peak, but it is delicious any time of the year. It brings a bright pop of color and flavor to any table, and it is quick enough to pull together on a busy weeknight.

The key to a great result is the dressing. Take a moment to whisk the olive oil in slowly, as this creates a beautiful, creamy consistency that coats the greens perfectly. It is a simple trick that makes a world of difference.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinaigrette dressing
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 8 cups mixed baby greens, such as spinach and arugula
  • 1/3 cup chopped pistachios
  • 1/3 cup feta cheese crumbles
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare your balsamic vinaigrette in a medium bowl by whisking the vinegar, mustard, and maple syrup together.

  2. 2

    Slowly drizzle the olive oil into the vinegar mixture, whisking constantly until the dressing is creamy and fully combined.

  3. 3

    Place the mixed baby greens into a large serving bowl.

  4. 4

    Top the greens with the fresh blueberries, thinly sliced red onion, chopped pistachios, and crumbled feta cheese.

  5. 5

    Drizzle your desired amount of dressing over the salad just before serving.

  6. 6

    Add a generous grind of fresh black pepper and toss everything gently to combine.

💡 Tips

Store the dressing, greens, and toppings in separate containers if you are making this ahead of time to keep everything crisp. Only wash your blueberries right before you are ready to serve so they stay firm.
