  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh arugula
  • 1 cup fresh blackberries
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Thoroughly wash the arugula, blackberries, and strawberries. Dry them using a salad spinner or clean towel. Slice the strawberries and set aside.
  2. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and dice the flesh. Toss the avocado pieces with lemon juice to prevent browning.
  3. In a large bowl, layer the arugula, berries, and avocado. Gently toss to combine.
  4. Sprinkle sliced almonds over the salad. Drizzle honey-balsamic dressing. Season with salt and pepper, then toss lightly to coat evenly.

Notes

  • Prepare the salad just before serving to maintain freshness.
  • Keep avocado separate if making ahead, and add it right before serving.
  • For extra flavor, add crumbled feta, fresh herbs like mint, or substitute berries with peaches or grapes.
