Mixed Berry Salad
with Raspberry Dressing
When you want a salad that is extra special, toss this homemade raspberry vinaigrette dressing into my fresh mixed berry salad.
It is easy to get in the habit of purchasing bottles of salad dressing at the grocery store, but homemade is super delicious.
Additionally, it is quick and easy to make and budget friendly.
You can serve this fresh tossed salad as a side dish for dinner or as an entree for a light lunch.
Either way, this is a pretty and tasty way to enjoy fresh fruit and veggies.
The dressing gets its sweetness from the fresh raspberries, so there is no processed sugar added.
You get the flavor of three different berries, since strawberries and blackberries are tossed in the salad and raspberries are blended into the vinaigrette.
If you’d like to make the raspberry dressing to use on another type of salad, that’s an option, too.
But … I really like this one!
Fresh mint is added into the salad, so it makes all of the flavors pop.
As you can imagine, this salad is bursting with fresh flavor.
Pick up lots of berries the next time you’re at the grocery store or farmers market, so that you can enjoy this tasty berry salad, too!
