Spinach & Berry Summer Salad with a Beaujolais wine dressing
Hi Chefs, Myka here 👋
Summer meals can be tricky: when an oven and the burners are on, it can be hard to stick around a hot kitchen for too long. But this Spinach & Berry Summer Salad with a Beaujolais wine dressing ticks all of the boxes. It’s hearty, light, sweet and totally refreshing.
Start by cleaning your baby spinach and adding it to a large bowl. Next, clean your blackberries, blueberries, and strawberries, and add them to the bowl as well. Slice your red onion, add that in, and crumble goat cheese into the bowl. Add in your pistachios, and the base of your salad is ready to go.
Up next is the Beaujolais wine dressing. Grab a mason jar, and add in olive oil, Beaujolais wine, lemon juice, and mustard. Next, add your honey, lemon zest, kosher salt, black pepper, and minced garlic. Close your jar tightly and shake it vigorously, for a few seconds.
When you’re ready to enjoy, add your dressing to your salad.
Happy cooking!
