Frequently Asked Questions About The Recipe:

What is the best salad dressing to serve with this salad?

My absolute favorite is creamy balsamic dressing, which only takes 5 minutes to whip up. Also, my honey vinaigrette is amazing as well, which is used in my roasted pear salad. If you are short on time, go with a similar store bought dressing. Raspberry vinaigrette would be yummy!

How can I add more protein to the salad?

Add in some grilled chicken or even easier, add store bought shredded rotisserie chicken. Bake salmon or shrimp on the side for a full meal. This would be a great side salad to go with my crispy chicken recipe.

What cheese goes with berries?

I love feta cheese for its saltiness to balance the sweetness of the berries. Blue cheese is also excellent for its pungent taste.

Popular Substitutions or Additions:

If you don't like feta cheese, blue cheese is delicious with this recipe.

You can also add in blackberries, raspberries or mandarin oranges.

A great substitution for the pecans would be walnuts; although, the two together would also be fantastic.

If you're not crazy about Arugula, go with baby spinach or spring mix.

Lots of options here!

The Ingredients:

berry and feta salad ingredients

Baby Arugula- Tiny greens with a peppery bite. You can go with a pre-washed package like in the picture above to save on time.

Strawberries and Blueberries- Sweet berries toss into this salad perfectly. If you decide to make it in the Spring and Summer season, they should be extra juicy and cost less too.

Crumbled Feta- Salty, crumbly cheese that balances out the sweet fruit for the best combo.

Pecans- For added protein and a nutty crunch

Storing the Salad:

If you have leftovers, store it in the fridge in an air tight container for up to 24 hours without the dressing added. I prefer using glass containers for storage.

    I make something very similar to this. 😋 All the fruit, nut and greens substitutions are great, also dried cranberries! My favorite dressing for this - add Some fresh chopped basil leaves, then toss it with a light coat of Balsamic Vinegar of Modena (the Kroger brand is the best I've found... It's sweet), extra Virgin olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, basil, and oregano right before serving! 😋
