Adding fruit to salad is something I’ve been passionate about since I was in my college apartment. (If you’ve never had my Strawberry Salmon Salad, I highly recommend it!) This combination is just perfect: spinach, fresh strawberries, fresh blueberries, feta cheese, and slivered almonds. Yum! Layer everything in a salad bowl or on a platter and you’ve got yourself a colorful, beautiful side dish for burgers or BBQ. Yum!

I most often eat this with balsamic vinaigrette but raspberry vinaigrette is honestly my favorite. For a party, I think it’s friendly to have a few dressing options set out for guests to choose from. Plus, the salad will stay fresher longer if it isn’t dressed ahead of time – a little entertaining hack for you!

I really hate adding amounts to salad recipes since you could make this as a single serving or twice as large as the salad I made here, but because I know you’ll ask: I used a small bag of spinach (3 cups), 1 cup of quartered strawberries, about 1/3 cup of blueberries, about 2 oz feta cheese, and a tablespoon or so of slivered almonds but for Pete’s sake, don’t measure! It’s salad!
