Calories: 210kcal

Ingredients

  • 2 cups mixed greens think spinach, arugula, or romaine
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage for that pop of pink
  • 1 small beet grated (optional but makes everything extra pink)
  • 1/2 cup strawberries sliced
  • 1/4 cup raspberries
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta or goat cheese if you’re feeling fancy
  • 2 tablespoons slivered almonds or walnuts for crunch
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup for vegan vibes
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Prep your base. Wash and dry your greens, then toss them in a large salad bowl. No soggy greens allowed!
  • Add the color. Grate the beet and toss it in with shredded red cabbage. This is where the salad starts looking like a work of art.
  • Fruit frenzy. Slice strawberries and add raspberries on top. Tiny bursts of sweetness are your new best friend.
  • Cheese & nuts. Sprinkle crumbled feta and nuts evenly across the salad. Crunch + creaminess = heaven.
  • Make the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Taste as you go—you’re the boss.
  • Dress it up. Drizzle dressing over the salad, then toss lightly to combine everything evenly. Don’t overdo it; you want the colors to shine.
  • Admire your masterpiece. Snap a pic because it’s almost too pretty to eat. Almost.
