Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups baby arugula
  • 1 cup fresh blackberries
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts

Instructions

  1. Rinse the Greens and Berries: Rinse baby arugula and blackberries under cool water then gently pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
  2. Slice the Avocado: Slice the avocado into thin wedges and set aside, allowing its creamy texture to be the highlight of the salad.
  3. Combine the Salad Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the arugula, blackberries, red onion, avocado slices, and walnuts. This medley looks like a colorful tapestry ready to be enjoyed.
  4. Whisk the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. This dressing is simple but elevates the fresh ingredients beautifully.
  5. Drizzle and Toss: Drizzle the dressing over the salad ingredients, and gently toss to coat all components evenly. Be careful not to mush the avocado—its creaminess needs a delicate touch!
  6. Serve Immediately: Divide the salad among plates and serve immediately, letting everyone indulge in the fresh flavors bursting from the bowl.
