Ingredients:
Serves 4
9oz baby spinach, torn
1 cup sliced strawberries
1 cup raspberries
1 cup blueberries
1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted
1/3 cup chopped basil
1 avocado, chopped
4oz goat cheese
Directions:
Divide baby spinach between plates then top with berries, almonds*, basil and chopped avocado. Crumble goat cheese on top then dress with salad dressing. You could use a strawberry balsamic vinegar, but any olive-oil based vinaigrette would be fantastic.
So easy and fabulously fresh, no-cook, and light ...yet filling from the goat cheese and avocado. You could if you wish serve it with some grilled chicken breast marinated in some of that balsamic vinegar. Dear readers it's entirely up to you.
*The easiest way to toast almonds is to spread them on a plate and microwave in thirty second increments until they’re golden brown. You could also do this in the oven, but it’s getting hot out there, and sometimes you just don't need the oven on!

... just a thought! This coming weekend will be the last weekend of August - where is the year going - so why not make the most of the warm weather and enjoy this taste of summer.
All the best Jan

Oh yes, I love these kinds of salads and have them often. They look so pretty an appetizing
You can throw anything you have into them.
YUM.... Fruit salads are SO good---and yes, so colorful..... I eat blueberries and strawberries every morning in my plain Greek yogurt... That is my breakfast about 5-6 days every week...
Thanks.
