It’s officially berry season and the uses are endless! Blackberries, blueberries, strawberries… I’m adding them to smoothies, yogurt and now salads. This salad is meant to be a simple and seamless addition to a classic summer spread. I’m all about using fresh ingredients you have on hand to throw together to create an elegant and nutritious dish.
White the blackberries add a hint of sweet and tart, the arugula adds what I call “spicy”. It has more of a kick than your traditional greens like romaine lettuce but I think that’s what makes them pair so great with berries. The white beans serve as your source or plant-based protein and happen to boast ample fiber which helps with digestion and regularity.
