Spinach Blueberry Salad:

A creamy blueberry tahini dressing envelops a heaping serving of vegetables, fresh blueberries, chickpeas, raisins, and toasted sunflower seeds in this spinach blueberry salad.

Salads are really simple to put together and come in an endless variety of combinations. I wanted to make a nutrient-dense, plant-based salad today that included baby spinach and fresh blueberries. It had to be large (my salad maxim is “go big or go home”), tasty, vibrant, satisfying, and, of course, mouthwatering.

Reasons to Love This Salad:

This salad blends a range of flavours and textures and is loaded with seasonal fruit.
It is ideal for lunch, but it is also substantial enough to offer for dinner.

Packed with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties from the blueberries in the salad and dressing!

Guidelines Spinach Blueberry Salad:

• In a blender, combine all the dressing ingredients and process until smooth and creamy. If the texture is too thick to drizzle, add a small amount of water (beginning with 1-2 Tablespoons). The dressing should be rather thick.
• Make two salads by tossing a bed of baby spinach with the toppings in the suggested sequence. After dressing both salads, savour them!
