Strawberry Blueberry Salad with Homemade Balsamic Vinaigrette
This strawberry blueberry salad with homemade balsamic vinaigrette combines lettuce, berries and crumbled cheese to create a light and refreshing salad that is perfect for a summer brunch or cook out.
Remove the leaves from the strawberries and cut them in thirds.
Add the chopped strawberries, blueberries and raspberries to the bowl.
Add the crumbled goat or blue cheese to the salad.
If you want to use nuts, chop the walnuts and pecans and add them to the salad as well.
Toss with 2 to 3 Tablespoons vinaigrette dressing (see below for the recipe).
Vinaigrette Dressing
Add all of the ingredients for the vinaigrette to a mason jar.
Put on the lid and shake well.
Notes
Although the recipe calls for 3 different types of berries, you can serve it with only one or two of them. Or change the amount of each berry that you use. The salad is very forgiving.
If you eat a lot of strawberries, consider getting a strawberry huller. They're very inexpensive and make hulling easy!
This recipe makes more vinaigrette than you will need for one salad...you can store it in the refrigerator for up to a month.
