• Spinach
• Kale
• Green Leaf Lettuce
• Red Leaf Lettuce
• Arugula

Avocado

Creamy and packing a healthy punch, avocados are a perfect addition to this summery salad.

Goat Cheese

Creamy and tangy, goat cheese is a favorite of mine. If you aren’t a fan, omit or add feta.

Almonds

Any nut will work in this recipe, but I love the combo of berries with almonds.

Entree Salad

Make it a meal! Add in your favorite protein to make this Berry Avocado Almond Salad an entree.

Rotisserie Chicken

Rotisserie chicken is an easy go to for added protein. To make life easier:

• De-bone chicken
• Chunk it up into bit size pieces
• Portion it out
• Freeze what you won’t use up within 3 days

Doing this, you will have portioned out protein ready after a few minutes on defrost in the microwave. Many grocery or big box stores offer already de-boned rotisserie chicken. It doesn’t get much easier!

Salmon

Salmon is another delicious option in this Berry Avocado Almond Salad. If you are looking for an easy marinade for grilled or baked salmon, you will love this Glazed Sweet and Tangy Salmon recipe.

Beans or Quinoa

Beans and quinoa are both great sources of protein and healthy carbs. Cannellini beans go wonderfully with this, but my preference is quinoa. Quinoa mixes in delightfully with this salad.

Quinoa is so versatile. Throw it in a salad. Top it with an egg. Serve it as a side dish. If you like this salad, you’ll love this Carrot Cake Quinoa Salad recipe.

Side Salad

This easy salad makes a delicious side salad as well. Pair it with any main course. It especially goes well with this Glazed Sweet and Tangy Salmon recipe.
