1
Prepare the Spinach
Thoroughly wash the fresh spinach leaves under cold running water. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess water. Place the spinach in a large salad bowl.
2
Add the Berries
Rinse the mixed berries gently under cold water. If using strawberries, hull and slice them into quarters. Add the strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries to the bowl with the spinach.
3
Add Candied Walnuts
Sprinkle the candied walnuts over the salad. Ensure they are evenly distributed for a balanced crunch in every bite.
4
Add Crumbled Blue Cheese
Sprinkle the crumbled blue cheese over the salad. This will add a creamy texture and a sharp flavor that complements the sweetness of the berries.
5
Dress the Salad
Drizzle the raspberry vinaigrette over the salad ingredients. Start with half a cup and add more to taste, if desired. Use salad tongs to gently toss the salad until all ingredients are well coated with the dressing.
6
Serve
Divide the salad into individual serving plates or bowls. Serve immediately for the freshest taste.
