This is the perfect salad for the end of summer/start of fall, when blueberries are still great but you’re in a maple mood. It’s so simple too: just greens, blueberries, herbed Marcona almonds, feta cheese, and a homemade maple vinaigrette. I didn’t include measurements because I never measure when I’m making salad.
Let’s talk about the almonds. These are herbed Marcona almonds from Kuhlman Cellars, but Valencia almonds would also be delicious!
This fabulous salad is salty and sweet: you’ve got the saltiness and earthiness from the feta and almonds and the sweetness from the berries and dressing.
The dressing is fantastic – don’t skip it! I first whisked up maple vinaigrette for my Autumn Burrata Salad and it pairs just as well here.
