Salads are always a win too, but they can get a little boring. This is where this simple summer berry salad with orange poppyseed vinaigrette comes into the picture.
It is not only refreshing but it contains both blueberries and strawberries, which I love this mixture during the summer. Toss in some fresh spinach leaves, feta cheese and a homemade Orange poppyseed vinaigrette. Yes please!
Orange poppyseed Vinaigrette.
I love a good vinaigrette. This is my usual go to when I eat salad. Here for this orange poppyseed vinaigrette because it is not only good, both sweet and tangy, but also easy to make! I was so excited to realize how easy this dressing was to make. It was both adult and kid approved!
You will probably have most of these ingredients on hand already. Vegetable oil, white vinegar, dry mustard powder (this may be a random ingredient for some), poppyseeds, sugar, and orange juice.
All the berries: Strawberries, blueberries, and Blackberries
Berries. This house loves all the berries. My oldest can literally spot a blackberry plant from anywhere. We go through a container of strawberries within a day, if I am not trying to stretch it out to more days. With it being summer, I wanted to come up with a festive salad that would become a great place for these berries that we love so much. This Simple Summer Berry Salad with Orange Poppyseed Vinaigrette is not only simple to throw together, but it is refreshing and beautiful!
