Ingredients
Salad
- 3 cups super greens mix (baby spinach, baby arugula, red & green Swiss chard, chicory, green cabbage, chopped Brussels sprouts)
- 1 cup kale, roughly chopped
- 1 cup strawberries, diced
- 1 cup blackberries
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1/4 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons pepitas
- Blueberry goat cheese, crumbled (or regular goat cheese)
Dressing
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (nonfat)
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, packed
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves, packed
- Coarse salt, to taste
- Ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Dressing: In a blender or food processor, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, mustard, extra virgin olive oil, fresh mint leaves, fresh parsley leaves, and fresh oregano leaves. Pulse until the mixture is completely combined into a smooth, creamy dressing. Season with coarse salt and ground black pepper to taste, then set aside.
- Toss the Salad: In a large bowl, add the super greens mix, chopped kale, diced strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, shelled pistachios, and pepitas. Drizzle the prepared lemon herb dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
- Serve: Transfer the salad to serving bowls or plates. Top the salad with crumbled blueberry goat cheese and an additional sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper if desired. Enjoy immediately for the freshest taste.
Notes
- If blueberry goat cheese is unavailable, substitute with regular goat cheese or feta for a similar creamy texture.
- Use nonfat Greek yogurt to keep the dressing light and healthy.
- For added crunch, roast the pistachios and pepitas lightly before adding them to the salad.
- This salad is best served fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 day; keep dressing separate until ready to serve.
- Adjust the amount of salt and pepper in the dressing according to your taste preference.
