Summer Berry Salad

Does anyone else’s taste change depending on the season?! In the winter I crave warm, comforting foods. In the summer, I crave cool, fresh, bright flavors. It must not be just me. I came across a new salad dressing at a local market and bought it on a whim – Blueberry Balsamic Vinaigrette. I have loved every single Brianna’s dressing/marinade so I knew I would love this too. It just screamed ‘summer.’

Playing off the summer vibes, I knew I wanted to throw together a salad using this dressing. For ingredients, I knew this would have seasonal fruits. And what goes better with fruits than goat cheese. They just belong together. The creamy tart flavor balances out the sweetness from the fruit. For a crunch, I tossed in slivered almonds. I added in some shredded rotisserie chicken to make it a meal. Each component tastes like it just belongs. In each bite you get to experience so much texture and flavor.

What foods do you crave in the summer? I hope you give this recipe a try and please share what you think!
