Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a blender or food processor, combine plain Greek yogurt, freshly squeezed lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and extra virgin olive oil. Add fresh mint, parsley, oregano, salt, and black pepper to taste. Blend on high for about 30 seconds, until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, then set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add a generous handful of super greens mix followed by roughly chopped kale. Toss in sliced strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries for a burst of color and flavor. Sprinkle in the chopped pistachios and pepitas, providing a delightful crunch. Gently mix to distribute the ingredients evenly.
  3. Carefully pour the creamy lemon herb dressing over the berry salad, ensuring an even coating. Using tongs or a large spoon, toss gently for about 1 minute until everything is perfectly combined and well-coated.
  4. Transfer the salad to a large serving platter or individual bowls for a beautiful presentation. Top with an extra sprinkle of ground black pepper before serving. Enjoy immediately or store leftovers separately for later.
