Ingredients
  

4 cups fresh baby spinach, washed and dried

1 cup mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries), sliced if large

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1 avocado, diced

1/2 cup balsamic vinaigrette (store-bought or homemade)

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Greens: In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh baby spinach and sliced red onion. Toss gently to evenly distribute the onion throughout the spinach.

    Add the Berries: Sprinkle the mixed berries over the spinach and onion blend. Be gentle to avoid squishing the berries.

      Incorporate the Cheese and Nuts: Add the crumbled feta cheese and toasted almonds on top of the salad. These will provide creaminess and crunch, respectively.

        Incorporate the Avocado: Gently fold in the diced avocado, taking care not to mash it.

          Dress the Salad: Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the salad. Start with a small amount, toss gently, and add more if desired to achieve the desired level of dressing.

            Season: Add salt and pepper to taste, and toss again lightly to combine all the flavors.

              Garnish and Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving platter or individual bowls. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if you like a touch of minty freshness. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
