Adapted from Feasting at Home - A simple recipe for Blackberry Salad with Basil and Arugula sprinkled with crumbled goat cheese, toasted almonds and a maple-balsamic dressing. A light and delicious summer salad!

INGREDIENTS:

For the Salad:
  • 5 ounces baby arugula (or spinach)
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1–2  cups fresh blackberries
  • ⅓ cup crumbled goat cheese
  • ¼–1/2 cup toasted slivered almonds (or sub maple pecans) 
  • ¼ cup basil leaves- torn 
  • optional: 1 tablespoon fresh chive or onion blossoms

For the Balsamic Vinaigrette:
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons  balsamic vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper

INSTRUCTIONS:
  1. Make the dressing- whisk all ingredients in a small bowl.
  2. In a large bowl, place arugula, basil and onions. Toss with just enough dressing to lightly coat ( you may not need all). Feel free to add the remaining ingredients and toss or plate individual portions.
  3. If plating: place the dressed greens onto plates. Top with blackberries, goat cheese, a few basil leaves, almonds and blossoms.
  4. Add a drizzle of balsamic glaze- optional.
  5. Serve immediately!

NOTE:
*Feel free to assemble the salad ahead, refrigerate and toss with the dressing right before serving.
