Blackberry, Avocado and Arugula Salad

Recipe Description

If you can’t get enough of the blackberry and blueberry season, make this stunning Blackberry, Avocado and Arugula Salad. This fresh berry salad is tossed with a homemade vinaigrette that is so easy to make with just a few delicious ingredients.

This salad is sweet and salty with a combination of blackberries, blueberries, avocado, and feta cheese, which get tossed with peppery arugula and coated in a lime, olive oil, and black pepper vinaigrette. I like to keep it simple with just the arugula but feel free to add any greens of your choice. All the flavors work so well together and pair wonderfully with grilled seafood or poultry. Enjoy!

To make the Blackberry, Avocado and Arugula Salad, you will need the following ingredients:
