This Blueberry Broccoli Spinach Salad is a vibrant, nutrient-packed dish featuring fresh spinach, broccoli, blueberries, and crunchy nuts, tossed in a tangy vinaigrette. Finished with crumbled feta or goat cheese, it’s perfect as a healthy side, light lunch, or meal prep option.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups fresh baby spinach
  • 2 cups broccoli florets, chopped small
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seeds or chopped almonds
  • 1/3 cup feta cheese or goat cheese, crumbled
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 ½ tbsp apple cider vinegar or balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Lightly steam or blanch broccoli for 1–2 minutes. Rinse with cold water and pat dry.
  2. In a large bowl, combine spinach, broccoli, blueberries, red onion, and nuts.
  3. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, honey/maple syrup, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until emulsified.
  4. Drizzle dressing over the salad and toss until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Top with crumbled cheese just before serving.

Notes

  • Keep the dressing separate if prepping ahead to prevent sogginess.
  • Swap spinach for kale or mixed greens.
  • Add grilled chicken or chickpeas for a protein boost.
  • Dried cranberries or toasted pecans make great substitutions.
  • Frozen blueberries can be used—just thaw and drain well.
