Instructions
Wash and dry all the berries and greens thoroughly to ensure they are clean and crisp.
Slice the strawberries and set aside. Keep the blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries whole.
In a large salad bowl, add the mixed greens as the base layer.
Arrange the sliced strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries on top of the greens.
Sprinkle the sliced almonds and crumbled feta cheese (if using) over the berries.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lemon juice, olive oil, poppy seeds, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving and toss gently to combine.
Chef's Tips
- Freshness: Use the freshest berries available for the best flavor and texture.
- Dressing: Add the dressing right before serving to keep the greens crisp.
- Variations: Swap feta cheese for goat cheese or omit for a vegan option.
- Nuts: Toast the almonds lightly for extra crunch and flavor.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a day (best enjoyed fresh).
