I love fresh berries and right now they are in abundance! Every time I walk into the Farmer’s Market here, there are tables upon tables of fresh organic berries just calling my name. So, naturally I save as many as my wallet will allow and then panic when I get home and realize I have way more berries than my family can possibly eat.

I have made smoothies, muffins, jam, and just about everything else under the sun I can think of to make with berries, but for some reason I had never made a salad with them until a few weeks ago. Weirdo, I know!

Ever since I made a Strawberry Salad with Coconut Bacon and Black Pepper Vinaigrette for Oh My Veggies a few weeks ago I have been berry salad obsessed. I may have actually had this one for lunch 3 days in a row now. I’ll probably have it again tomorrow to be honest.

Besides the luscious berries this salad has creamy avocado, baby spinach, crunchy roasted pepitas and an herb packed cilantro dressing that I just cannot get enough of.
