Summer salads are one of my favourite foods ever and this Summer Berry Salad with Creamy Lemon Vinaigrette is pretty much all I want to eat these days! When fresh berries are in season you know I love using them in every single recipe possible, like this Classic Fresh Strawberry Pie or this Strawberry Rhubarb Jam, and throwing them into a summer salad just seems like another amazing way to enjoy them, don’t you think?
This Summer Berry Salad is a delicious and healthy way to up your intake of fresh and in-season fruits and veggies!
Although we’re not enjoying as many summer gatherings, barbecues and get-togethers as we usually do this year thanks to current events, we can still enjoy delicious summer meals at home with our own families. This Summer Berry Salad makes an appearance most weekends at our dinner table throughout the summer as long as fresh berries are available at the market and trust me, no one is sad about it!
Our kids LOVE salad, which, as a mom, I’m absolutely thrilled about. I love knowing that my kids will gobble up a big bowl of greens (and in this case, fruit too!) at every meal, and I’m always on the hunt for new salad ideas to change things up and keep it interesting. This Summer Berry Salad is one of our family’s latest favourites, and I know you’ll love it too!!
