Fresh blueberries, blackberries, blue cheese, candied walnuts, and honey vinaigrette make this a summer salad I come back to all season long.

  • Total Time: 14 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale

For the candied seeds or nuts:

1/2 cup of raw seeds(pumpkin, hemp, flax, chia, sunflower), walnuts, almonds, pecans

2 Tablespoons packed brown sugar, light or dark

1 1/2 teaspoons softened unsalted butter

pinch of salt

For the salad

6 cups Spring mix

1 cup blackberries

1 cup blueberries

1/2 cup blue cheese

1/2 large avocado

Garnish with candied seeds or nuts

Honey Vinaigrette

1/2 cup Extra virgin olive oil

1/4 cup white wine vinegar

1/4 cup honey

1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard

a squeeze of lemon juice

pinch of salt and pepper

Instructions

To make the seeds or nuts:

Add the butter, brown sugar and salt to a non-stick pan. Heat over medium-low heat, until the brown sugar melts and the sugar starts to bubble around the edges. Add the seeds or nuts and mix well to coat. Stir for 2-3 minutes until glossy and well coated.

Remove from pan and pour onto a Silphat and let cool until ready to garnish the salad.

For the Salad

Place the spring mix on a platter, top with the blueberries and blackberries. Then sprinkle with blue cheese and candied seeds. Slice the avocado and arrange on the platter.

To make the Honey Vinaigrette

Place all of the ingredients into a small jar and shake vigorously, or add to a small bowl and whisk well. Wait until just before serving to dress the salad, or let each person dress their own.
