Salad Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh spinach leaves, washed and dried
- 1 cup mixed fresh berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries)
- 1/2 cup mixed nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, or pecans), roughly chopped
Dressing
- 1/4 cup poppy seed dressing
Instructions
- Prepare the Salad: In a large salad bowl, combine the fresh spinach leaves, mixed berries, and chopped nuts. Gently toss the ingredients to evenly distribute all components.
- Add Dressing: Right before serving, drizzle the poppy seed dressing over the salad. Toss gently once more to coat the ingredients without bruising the berries or wilting the spinach.
Notes

- Chill the salad bowl beforehand to keep the salad crisp longer.
- You can substitute the nuts with seeds like sunflower or pumpkin seeds for a nut-free option.
- Poppy seed dressing can be purchased or homemade for a fresher option.
