Notes
Tips and Techniques
- This salad is very versatile. Any type of lettuce can be used in place of the spinach, other types of berries can be substituted for the blueberries, and walnuts or almonds can be used instead of pecans. You can also add a protein like grilled chicken to make it a heartier meal.
- The dressing can be made in a mason jar instead of a blender. Simply add all of the ingredients for the dressing to a mason jar with a tight fitting lid. Shake until well combined.
- The undressed salad can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days. It is best to not cut the avocado until you are ready to eat it to prevent browning. Store the vinaigrette in a separate sealed container or jar in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
