Summer Berry Salad

Salads are better assembled than measured. This salad is summary and so nicely balanced. Crisp greens meet creamy feta, sweet in-season berries and salty bacon, all topped with a flavorful poppyseed-honey mustard dressing. It’s colorful, hearty, and entirely open to interpretation. Think of these ingredients as a starting point, then build your salad with the level of toppings that make your heart content.

What to Notice

  • Cook your bacon via your preferred method, whether in the oven or on the stove. Just make sure to overcook it ever so slightly. Bacon in salads should add a nice crunchy element.
  • When assembling this salad, simply think about adding enough toppings to get a little bit of everything in one bite; that’s what makes a salad wildly satisfying.
  • When dressing your greens, you want the dressing to coat them gently, not for them to be doused.
