Cozy Weekends ☕️

Fresh berries belong in your salad 🍓🫐

Published 3 months ago • 1 min read • Recipes

Hi Reader,

Berry season is here, and I have two new salad recipes to share this week.

Both feature fresh summer berries and come together quickly as a side dish or a light lunch. 🍓🫐

If the idea of fruit in a savoury salad sounds a little odd, don't worry. The berries actually add a nice pop of sweetness that balances out the other flavours really well.

Summer Kale Salad

This massaged kale salad has fresh blackberries and strawberries, crunchy cashews and sunflower seeds, and a honey Dijon dressing. Ready in 20 minutes.

Berry Spinach Salad

This baby spinach salad has strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, creamy goat cheese, and roasted pecans, tossed in a homemade raspberry vinaigrette.

If you try any of these recipes, don't forget to tag me on Instagram @insearchofyummyness with a photo. I'd love to see how your creations turn out! 📸

How to store fresh berries

Before storing, remove any mouldy berries and discard them. Keep the rest in a clean, dry container with a piece of paper towel at the bottom to absorb moisture. If you bought them in a plastic clamshell, they can stay in that. Rinse well right before eating.

I hope you enjoy these new salad recipes!

Have a great weekend,

⭐️ P.S. If you make any of my recipes, I'd appreciate it if you could leave a quick comment and star rating on the blog post. Your review will help others find and enjoy these recipes too!
