Delicious summer berry salad made with strawberries, blueberries, cucumber, red onion, broccoli, and crunchy almonds on a bed of fresh spinach. Drizzle some of the creamy plant-based cashew ranch on top for the perfect combination of flavors and textures with this easy summertime dish.
When it comes to warmer weather, I love having as much fresh produce as possible. I especially love salads like this gorgeous berry salad. It’s the perfect summertime side dish. Also, it makes for an incredibly simple lunch that can be thrown together in a matter of minutes.
The combination of ingredients in this salad are definitely a favorite when it comes to salads. The strawberries and blueberries add just enough sweetness that goes so well with the other ingredients. It all ties together with the plant-based cashew ranch too. However, it is also really good topped with a tangy balsamic vinaigrette.
