Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 4 cups baby spinach adds a fresh, vibrant foundation; choose crisp leaves for the best flavor.
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries opt for plump, firm berries with no wrinkles.
For the Crunch
  • ½ cup roasted unsalted pistachios brings delightful crunch and texture; walnuts or almonds can be swapped for variety.
For the Creaminess
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese adds a rich, tangy element; goat cheese is a wonderful alternative for a different flavor profile.
For the Zing
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion adds sharpness; soaking them in cold water softens the flavor if you prefer a milder taste.
For the Dressing
  • ¼ cup balsamic vinaigrette harmonizes all the flavors with its tangy notes; feel free to use a homemade dressing for a personal touch.
