The Salad:
This salad is incredibly simple. Just toss mixed greens, fresh spring and summer berries of your choice, caramelized pecans and soft goat cheese together and then dress! Perfect for a healthy lunch or delicious warm weather side dish.
How to Caramelize Nuts:
I love caramelized nuts in this salad. Click here to see how to make your own. Of course if you would rather skip the sugar you can use your favorite raw nut, roasted salted pistachios or cashews!
The Vinegar Makes All the Difference!
I am going to offer you two salad dressings for this salad, an amazing raspberry vinaigrette and a lemon dressing, but will suggest you try the raspberry! I use this Raspberry Vinegar from A L’Olivier, It’s amazing, rich, flavorful and pulpy.
