If you’re looking for an easy lunch recipe or for a dish you can bring to a cookout this Spring, then look no further. This colorful strawberry and blueberry spinach salad is not only delicious, but it’s quick to put together and it’s a salad you’ll actually want to eat it. Sometimes, when I have a sweet tooth, I’ll make this instead of diving into the vegan ice cream and I’ve found it actually satisfies that sweet craving for me.

I’ve made this salad more times than I count and it truly never gets old. Often times, I’ll quickly make it as a side dish for dinner. If you’re not vegan and want to add protein, you can top it with blackened shrimp (or another protein of your choice) and it’ll take it to a whole new level of deliciousness.
