A refreshing and vibrant salad combining fresh spinach, mixed berries, and a tangy homemade dressing.
Wash the fresh spinach leaves thoroughly and pat them dry.
Using a salad spinner can make drying the spinach much quicker and easier.
Slice the mixed berries into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
Use a sharp knife to avoid crushing the berries while slicing.
Toast the sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown.
Keep an eye on the almonds as they can burn quickly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, poppy seeds, and fresh chives.
Whisking the ingredients thoroughly ensures a smooth and well-blended dressing.
Gradually drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously.
Adding the oil slowly helps to emulsify the dressing, giving it a creamy texture.
Whisk in the Dijon mustard, salt, and ground black pepper until fully combined.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Combine the spinach, mixed berries, and toasted almonds in a large bowl.
Gently toss the ingredients to avoid bruising the berries.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat evenly.
Add the dressing gradually to avoid over-dressing the salad.
Serve the salad immediately and enjoy.
For a more elegant presentation, garnish with additional chives or a sprinkle of poppy seeds.
