Blueberry, Radish and Spinach Salad with Creamy Vinaigrette – Recipe!

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

It’s hot in Los Angeles today with temperatures that feel like summertime and there’s no better day to indulge on a delightful salad.  A fresh combination of ingredients that taste so lovely together like blueberries, radishes and leafy spinach make a nice meal and are packed with tons of flavor.  I enjoy a good mix of something sweet like berries with slightly bitter notes of arugula or spinach, and a bit of spice from crunchy radishes or radicchio — all tossed together in one bowl.

I eat spinach all year long and this hardy green is slightly more flavorful in the spring and summer months, but I enjoy it in so many ways because it can hold up to other ingredients.  Whether you eat it sauteed in a pan with lemon and garlic, or tossed in a warm vinaigrette, spinach is a vegetable that’s super versatile.  It’s light, sweet and super refreshing, and especially nice tossed with a vinaigrette made with pantry ingredients and a spoonful of yogurt for creaminess.  I think this salad makes the perfect meal, and can be tossed with grilled chicken for added protein.  Enjoy the many flavors of the season.
