Ingredients
  

For the Salad
  • 2 cups Mixed Berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • 4 cups Mixed Greens (baby spinach and arugula)
  • 1 cup Feta Cheese (crumbled)
  • 1/2 cup Chopped Nuts (walnuts or almonds)
For the Dressing
  • 1 cup Greek Yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Herbs (basil or mint)
  • 1 tablespoon Honey

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Large Serving Bowl
  • Tongs or salad servers

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a blender or food processor, combine plain Greek yogurt, freshly squeezed lemon juice, Dijon mustard, extra virgin olive oil, and chopped fresh mint, parsley, and oregano. Blend the mixture on high until smooth and creamy, approximately 30 seconds. Taste your dressing and adjust with coarse salt and ground black pepper to your liking. Set aside while you prepare the salad.
  2. In a large serving bowl, combine a nutrient-dense super greens mix with roughly chopped kale to create a hearty base. Next, add in the vibrant strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries, making sure each berry is evenly distributed for a colorful effect. Top the salad with a sprinkle of chopped pistachios and pepitas to add delightful crunch and texture, inviting a variety of flavors to the Berry Salad.
  3. Gently pour the creamy lemon herb dressing over the berry salad, ensuring it evenly coats the vibrant ingredients. Use a pair of tongs or salad servers to toss the salad thoroughly, about 1–2 minutes, allowing each component to absorb that delicious dressing. The colors should pop, and the greens should be lightly glistening, signaling that your Berry Salad with Creamy Lemon Herb Dressing is ready to shine.
  4. For the finishing touch, add a final dusting of fresh ground black pepper over the tossed salad. Serve immediately to savor the freshness, ensuring the berries maintain their juicy texture and the greens remain crisp.
