Berry Walnut Spinach Salad

Although the weather is still cold, I served this as a side with some grilled salmon last night and it was quite delicious. You can improvise with the type of berry and nut you want to use. This is also a great stand alone salad for lunch! Serves 4.

Ingredients:

1/3 cup walnuts pieces
1/2 cup of fresh rasberries
1/2 cup of fresh blueberries
4 cups of baby spinach, washed
1/2 vidalia or sweet onion, chopped
4 square inches blue cheese, crumbled into large chunks
1/8 cup olive oil
1/8 cup cider vinegar
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Directions:

1. In a large wide bowl, place all ingredients except oil and vinegar.
2. Drizzle oil and vinegar over top and toss very lightly. Use a large serving spoon to gently transfer to individual salad plates for serving.
