TIPS

Here are some tips to help you prepare this fresh blueberry and spinach salad.

  • Use Baby Spinach: It has a milder flavour and tender texture.
  • Toast The Almonds: Lightly toasting them enhances their nutty flavour.
  • Chill Before Serving: A cold salad tastes even more refreshing.
  • Add A Crunch: Sprinkle sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds for extra texture.
  • Enhance Sweetness: A drizzle of honey can bring out the blueberries’ natural flavour.
  • Pair With Protein: Serve with grilled chicken or feta cheese for a heartier meal.

VARIATIONS

  • Cheese Addition: Add crumbled feta or goat cheese for a tangy contrast.
  • Citrus Twist: Replace balsamic vinegar with orange juice for a fruitier dressing.
  • Berry Medley: Add raspberries or strawberries for extra colour and flavour.
  • Vegan Protein Boost: Toss in quinoa or chickpeas for added nutrition.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Fridge Storage: Best consumed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.
  • Keep Dressing Separate: If making ahead, store dressing separately and add before serving.
  • Avoid Freezing: Spinach and blueberries lose their texture when frozen.
  • Meal Prep Friendly: Pre-chop ingredients and store them separately for easy assembly.
  • Refreshing Touch: Add an extra splash of balsamic before serving if stored.
