Berry Boost Salad

Need a super antioxidant boost? This Berry Boost Salad is just the thing. Not only is it packed with good-for-you nutrients but it is so delicious. The cherries, blackberries and strawberries are definitely the star. Then paired with baby salad leaves, heirloom baby tomatoes and Buffalo Mozzarella. Yum. Finally drizzle with some balsamic dressing.

This Berry Boost Salad is another perfect summer dish. As with all my salads it’s the perfect combination of sweet and salty, crunchy and soft, crisp and juicy…. It’s a feast of flavours, textures and colours on one plate. Just what you’ve come to expect of my salads.

I really do prefer light meals during the summer months. And whether this is your main or a side, this Berry Boost Salad is definitely perfect for those hot weather days. It’s also a great lunch or picnic dish. But it especially pairs well with red meats so works a treat as a side for a braai/bbq.

I do consider myself a Salad queen, if I must say so myself (with a wink and a cheeky smile). So please do check out some of my other delicious Salad offerings.
