Nothing says summer like a huge bowl of blackberry spinach salad.

It is berry season! Enjoy them now, because they’ll quickly be gone! More salads with a combination of sweet and savory flavors you may like are: Pear and Raspberry Chicken Salad [1], Fillet Mignon Fall Salad [2] or Strawberry Arugula Salad With Poppyseed Dressing [3].

I love fresh berries and while strawberries are my all time favorite, I always buy fresh blackberries. While they are great to snack on, I also often use them in salads. Their firm texture and tart taste are perfect for sweet and savory salads. They are loaded with vitamin C, fiber and low in calories.

Dressing pouring over Blackberry Spinach Salad

Whenever I make a salad with berries, like this blackberry spinach salad, I like to serve it with white balsamic vinaigrette. It is a great dressing for light summer salads. All you need is some good white balsamic vinegar and staples like honey, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper and oil.
