🥣 Recommended Tools
🔪 How to Make Triple Berry Summer Salad
Wash and dry your assortment of fresh berries.
Slice the strawberries and set them aside.
Add all the dressing ingredients to a dressing shaker or mixing bowl.
Shake or whisk until well combined and emulsified, then set aside while you prepare the salad.
Add the mixed greens to a large serving bowl.
Add the fresh berries and red onion over the top of the greens.
Add in the toasted almonds, goat cheese, and fresh mint.
Right before serving, pour the dressing over the top,toss, and serve.
☑️ Storage Instructions
Once you've added the dressing, you'll want to serve this salad immediately. If you're making it ahead of time, keep it covered in the fridge and wait to add the dressing right before serving.
🍴 What to Serve with Fresh Berry Salad
This salad is the perfect side for hearty dishes like Grilled Chicken, Cajun Shrimp, or Grilled Skirt Steak.
For a lighter soup and salad option, consider serving it with this Broccoli Cheddar Soup, this Chicken Pot Pie Soup or this Stuffed Pepper Soup.
Of course, you can't go wrong simply serving it with some low-carb Everything Bagel Crackers or these Baked Cheese Crisps.
💡 Tips for Making Summer Salad
- Only wash berries right before you use them to prevent them from absorbing excess moisture and becoming soft. Rinse gently under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
- As mentioned before, wait to add the dressing right before you serve it. This gives you the best and most crisp results.
- If you end up with a bitter red onion, soak the slices in cold water for about 10 minutes. This helps to give them a milder flavor. Drain and dry well before adding them.
- After washing the raspberries, give them a little shake. The hole will trap water which can result if a soggy salad.
🔄 Substitutions and Additions
- Nuts: Swap the almonds for pecans or macadamia nuts for a different crunch.
- Cheese: If you're not a fan of goat cheese, try feta or blue cheese, which are also keto-friendly.
- Greens: Use spinach, arugula, or kale instead of the spring greens mix for a different base.
- Avocado: Add slices of ripe avocado for extra creaminess and healthy fats.
- Protein: Add slices of grilled chicken or crumbled bacon for extra protein.
- Other herbs: Fresh basil or cilantro can add a different flavor profile.
- Seeds: Sprinkle chia seeds or sunflower seeds for added texture and nutritional benefits.
- Dressing: Instead of honey-lime you can use this Lemon Vinaigrette or this Lemon Poppy Seed Dressing for a bright, citrus flavor.
How Do You Keep Fruit Salad From Getting Soggy?
Make sure the berries and other ingredients are dried well before adding them to bowl. Also, consider drizzling the dressing over individual servings of the salad as you serve it.
