Mixed Greens Salad with Avocado and Blueberries

This gorgeous salad is a snap to make and adds a splash of color (and lots of antioxidants) to the summer plate. A medley of mixed greens with avocado and blueberries, it’s the perfect addition to almost any kind of summer meal. 

Serve this with a more substantial side-by-side salad like Potato and Red Bean Salad with Artichokes or Vegan Pasta Tuna Salad (aka Tofuna) for a light meal. Or, serve as a first course with a summer soup like Cold Green Pea and Cucumber Soup.

The recipe calls for a combination of olive oil and lemon juice as a dressing, but as an option, you can take it to the next level by using bottled or homemade raspberry vinaigrette dressing.
