    Best Berry and Goat Cheese Salad 

    Fresh and delicious berry salad! This salad is sublime. It hits all the taste buds with a little sweet, tangy, earthy, salty, and tart- absolutely satisfying! It is simple with just the right flavors and something you can feel good about eating all year around. When it comes to salads I like one solid theme and not too complicated. Even when I make a salad a main meal I don't like to have 100 ingredients in the bowl that overwhelm the taste of the greens. To me, a salad is a way to eat greens with a few accompaniments that add a little extra flavorful. Maybe you love a million things in your salad? If so, comment and let me know how you like your salads and why. I always love to get ideas and hear how other people like different dishes.

    Homemade Salad Dressing for the WIN! 

    I love using this homemade dressing for other salads as well. It comes together in minutes with a few fresh ingredients and a few shake, shake, shakes in a jar with a lid. It only takes minutes to make and you know exactly what you are getting. Have you ever looked at the ingredient list in most bottled dressings- yikes! The taste of homemade salad dressing is simple and adds the perfect touch to any salad. 

    This salad is a no brainer! Make it with any meal and please a crowd.

    Made with Amore,

    Elena

      We loved this! Thank you! We used the fruit we had- strawberries and mangoes. The goat cheese was fun to try!
