Say hello to my new favorite summer salad! I cannot get enough of this amazing green salad. In fact, I'm pretty sure I had it four times last week. Yes, it's that good.
Especially when you drizzle it with the Creamy Blueberry Balsamic Salad Dressing that I shared with you yesterday.
Can I be honest? I used to think salads were boring, AND I used to think that fruit with greens was crazy.
Then a few years ago I tried and loved this Strawberry Orange Spinach Salad. Now I am the biggest fan of fresh fruit on my plate of greens. It just gives it such a fresh and fruity pop of color and flavor that I can't get enough of.
I love how easy making a salad can be. The bowl of bright greens are a blank canvas just waiting for flavor and colors to be added. Top it with a variety of fruits, veggies, and nuts and say goodbye to boring salads.
This easy summer salad can be enjoyed as a side salad, or you can add plenty of grilled chicken and bacon and call it a light main meal.
How to make a Blueberry Apple Spinach Salad:
- Grill and cook the chicken and bacon ahead of time. (full recipe at bottom)

- Place a big bowl of baby spinach in the center of the table.

This salad is delicious on its own, but I definitely recommend drizzling it with the homemade blueberry dressing or this Homemade Honey Balsamic Vinaigrette.

The great thing about this salad is that you can totally customize it by using the fruits and nuts that you like.
