Red, White and Blue Spinach Berry Salad

Red, White and Blue Spinach Berry Salad is the perfect summer salad, made with fresh ingredients. We like it best with a homemade poppyseed dressing. 

Nothing screams summertime like fresh blueberries, strawberries and baby spinach. The colors are vibrant and the flavors burst with juicy fresh fruit. The best part about this salad is that you can serve it as a side salad or even a main dish for lunch or a light dinner. I also top it with with grilled chicken or shrimp from time to time…and wow, now you have an amazing brunch salad.

A creamy homemade poppyseed dressing goes best with Red, White and Blue Spinach Berry Salad. I also add small pieces of a honey flavored goat cheese and crunchy pecans. My poppyseed salad dressing recipes is as easy to make as this salad. It’s made with mayonnaise, vinegar, dry mustard, milk, and poppyseed. I bet you have all of those ingredients in your pantry and refrigerator right now. Toss it with spinach and fresh berries and you’ll have a quick and easy and delicious meal on the table in minutes.

If you love this salad, you will also love Easy Curry Chicken Salad and Asian Ramen Noodle Salad.

I’d love to know what you think of this recipe…feel free to leave me a comment.
